Abstract
The present disclosure relates to systems, methods, and computer-readable media for pre-provisioning server nodes of a server rack and causing the pre-provisioned server node to be deployed on an edge zone of a cloud computing system. In particular, systems described herein involve identifying server nodes based on a customer hardware deployment request and performing a series of pre-provision acts to the server nodes in accordance with the received hardware deployment request. For example, systems described herein pre-provision the hardware by configuring hardware and software on the server nodes, establishing communication with one or more control planes on a datacenter, and bringing the server nodes to a return to web (RTW) state. By pre-provisioning the hardware, the server hardware may be delivered and transitioned to a live state in an efficient manner and without jeopardizing security on the cloud.
