@alexellis ?
You have a managed product or service where people can rent servers, similar to Packet or Cherry Servers right? Maybe that could be added?
@alexellis I've created a separate PR for that service - Bigstep - which is similar to Packet. MetalSoft is the software that enables private bare metal clouds for both core and edge deployments.
@alexellis If you feel you need more details about our service, we can give you access to Bigstep to play around a bit. This should also give you a feel of how MetalSoft looks like from a user's perspective. Another resource that could help is: https://docs.bigstep.com. It talks about how on-demand utilisation works, how to use the infrastructure editor, the CLI, the Terraform provider etc. to provision bare metal resources.
Hey, sorry for the late response. I got drowned in notifications.
For closed source, see the notes in the README.
