Add operators to suport allocating empty bare-metal. #649
Description
User Story
As developers, we are developing a feature to support a bare-metal platform. I'm not sure if it's useful for others.
Detailed Description
In our scenario, some customers like to acquire an empty bare-metal host or a group of hosts.
Furthermore, users hope that host could pre-install the customized application.
It's a pure bare-metal management platform without guest Kubernetes.
Anything else you would like to add:
A machine operator, a machine-deployment operator.
[Miscellaneous information that will assist in solving the issue.]
The user could specify the machine with some conditions:
- Image to be installed.
- Host label to be chosen.
- User data specified by the customer such as "what application I want to install at the start time".
A machine deployment will define a group of machines with the same configuration. It will define the number of replicas. It could scale up/down.
