Wry¶
A Pythonic AMT provisioning, configuration and management library.
It is [very] loosely based on the OpenStack Ironic project, hence the name.
OK, but what is AMT?¶
Intel AMT is a remote management technology, widely implemented in modern Intel chipsets, and often advertised under the ‘vPro’ marketing tag.
It provides functionality such as:
- Remote power control
- Remote control via Serial-over-LAN and VNC
- Packet filtering
- Arbitary key/value data storage in NVRAM
AMT is implemented in BMC firmware and is, thus, operating-system independent.
