Adding Non-free Drivers to a Debian Netboot initrd
When working on an IaaS product, there is a constant need to have an easy and quick way to re-provision bare metal quickly. At Eucalyptus we utilize Cobbler and a home grown solution that allow us to setup servers automatically. PXE along with kickstart/preseed configurations create an easy, consistent and automated way to setup bare metal on the fly. Setting this up though is not always as easy as one would like for some operating systems and hardware configurations.
This is a good blog..especially for DevOps guys. These types of blogs really help with automating infrastructure deployments. Enjoy!
