Abstract
A device can receive, from a node of a set of nodes, a dynamic host configuration protocol (DHCP) discovery request. The device can determine a DHCP offer based on metadata associated with the node. The device can transmit, to the node, pre-boot execution environment (PXE) instructions, which can cause the node to load a minimal operating system image and execute a node installation service. The device can receive, from the node installation service, a request for information associated with a node type. The device can provide the information associated with the node type to the node, causing the node to generate configuration data relating to the node type. The device can receive, from the node, a request for a full operating system image, which can be provided to the node and can support one or more capabilities included in the configuration data.
