Abstract
A system and method for imaging a self-bootstrapping computing node includes booting, from a boot device, the computing node into a bootstrapping environment using a bootstrap operating system, where the bootstrap operating system is configured with an address of an imaging location, accessing the imaging location and receiving a software image for the computing node, and, imaging the computing node using the software image including installing another operating system on the computing node to boot from the boot device. Monitoring a status of the computing node's imaging operations using an application programming interface (API), monitoring a health status of the computing node, and enabling restart of the boot process upon failure (e.g., self-healing, self-recovery, etc.), is also described.
