Managing a huge cluster environment has
always been a hard task. We will introduce a system, which makes it
possible to easily install, manage and update the worker nodes or the
Windows machines in a computer room. We show how this task can be
accomplished using only free tools. The system has the following
capabilities:
- Installs a machine from scratch
- Uses PXE boot to perform the update
- Updates are executed automatically
- Uses wake on LAN to manage the machines
- Securely transmits the data required
for updates
