Tinkerbell is a bare metal provisioning and workflow engine comprised of three major components: a DHCP server (boots), a workflow engine (tinkerbell, this repository), and a metadata service (hegel). The workflow engine is comprised of a server and a CLI, which communicate over gRPC. The CLI is used to create a workflow along with its building blocks, templates and targeted hardware.
A Packet Workflow is an open-source microservice that’s responsible for handling flexible, bare metal provisioning workflows, that is...
- standalone and does not need the Packet API to function
- contains
Boots,Tinkerbell,Osie, and workers - can bootstrap any remote worker using
Boots + Osie - can run any set of actions as Docker container runtimes
- receive, manipulate, and save runtime data
- Setup
- Components
- Architecture
- Say "Hello-World!" with a Workflow
