Re: [Openstack-operators] demo environment ( embedded device openstack ) ?
Jesse the AMT looks like it may work in so far as functionality... but it requires unix utility amttool in place of ipmitool. I'll report back on how these work for me.. I just ordered 4 for testing. Only that one model of the NUCs has AMT support with vpro on it. So if you do go nuc http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/nuc/nuc-kit-dc53427hye.html That's the unit you want.

Re: [Openstack-operators] demo environment ( embedded device openstack ) ?
Okay for clarity... a mechanical solution to pushing the buttons on the NUC is of Rube Goldberg complexity. It is completely unnecessary and hellaciously prone to failure. You can literally wire into where the on / off switch is... or optimally directly to the jumper on the board itself with a microcontroller ( i'd use a beaglebone black personally for the ethernet port mainly ) . Then you can use a GPIO pin to switch the board on and off. More so, you can wire the GPIO ( at 5v ) to a mechanical relay in line with the 110/220v+ line and get hard cycling added as a capability. Using mindstorms for this is neat, but frankly way overly complex and less useful. Hell if you were crazy you could wire up a usb hub to some ttyusb -> db9 cables and host it to the beaglebone as well for serial console. Go still further down the path to damned near implementing your own IPMI solution you could directly parasite into the on board sensors and read them direct. Going the final leg of the journey... you could directly ADC the VGA port and soft render that into a RDP window along with some sort of API -> USB HID device stack... and bob's your uncle you've built your own LOM board. Then all you need to do is re-implement IPMI protocol and tie it to the hardware. Half way to an open source LOM board at that point. But honestly, with AMT that's not really necessary here. Still... open source LOM would be nice. -matt On Wed, Feb 11, 2015 at 3:19 PM, Abel Lopez wrote: > There is DIY LOM for the NUC, it was demo'd at Paris Summit.

Hi guys, The Ubuntu Orange box also uses NUCs so seem to be a good choice. I believe there are a variety of good Small Form Factor AIO computers that will fill the bill but NUC is the best known.

I’ve been building out a small cluster of intel NUC’s and have been quite happy with them – reasonable performance, 16g ram, and usb3 if you need storage.
