Orchestrating the DPU Control Plane: Canonical MAAS and OpenStack Ironic

Provisioning modern disaggregated servers requires managing two distinct compute systems: the primary host x86 CPU and the infrastructure DPU SoC.
🚀 The Automated Alternative: Use bare-metal orchestrators like MAAS or Ironic to push synchronized OS images and SRv6 network profiles simultaneously.
Why this represents a structural transformation for infrastructure lifecycle management:
✅ Dual-Plane Workflows: Automates the concurrent deployment of tenant operating systems on hosts and secure SRv6 networking on DPUs.
✅ Instant Network Inclusion: Newly provisioned nodes automatically pull their SRv6 segment routing configurations and register with the network fabric.
✅ DevOps Infrastructure: Replaces manual, error-prone switch port profiling with code-driven, automated fabric provisioning tools.
