Description

This pull request introduces a comprehensive design proposal for the modular decomposition of the Edge Infrastructure Manager (EIM), focusing on delivering modular workflows for Intel vPRO/AMT-based out-of-band device management and edge device provisioning. The document defines requirements, workflows, supported environments, and deliverables for the 2026.00 release, enabling customers to deploy only the needed functionality and simplifying edge device management at scale.

Modular Workflow Definitions and Requirements

  • Detailed requirements and user workflows for modular out-of-band device management (activation and power management) and automated edge device commissioning are outlined, supporting different customer personas (ISVs, OEMs, system integrators).

Workflow Specifications

  • Step-by-step workflows for vPRO/AMT device activation, out-of-band power management operations, and automated device provisioning are provided, including mermaid sequence diagrams for visual clarity.

Supported Environments and Constraints

  • Specifies supported operating systems (Ubuntu 24.04 LTS), hardware (Intel Core vPRO/AMT/ISM), activation modes (ACM/CCM), network requirements, and upgrade paths for each modular workflow.

Deliverables and Service Bundles

  • Lists foundational services (ArgoCD, multi-tenancy manager, Orch-CLI), service bundles (charts and images for EIM and DMT control plane and edge node components), and integration

Introduces a new design proposal document outlining the modular decomposition of Edge Infrastructure Manager (EIM) for the 2026.00 release. The document details requirements, workflows, and deliverables for vPRO/AMT-based out-of-band device management and automated edge device commissioning.
Introduces Requirement 1.b for out-of-band power management operations and expands workflow details for vPRO/AMT/ISM device activation. Updates workflow steps to clarify configuration, activation modes, and deliverables, improving documentation for modular EIM onboarding and management.
Updated workflow steps and mermaid sequence diagrams for modular EIM device onboarding and power management. Clarified activation modes, added details for power management operations, and improved step descriptions for better clarity and alignment with user documentation.
Expanded the design proposal with supported OS, hardware, activation modes, and deployment environments for modular workflows. Added KPIs for device activation and control plane deployment. Introduced Requirement 2 for OEM device provisioning, including scope, supported environments, and step-by-step workflow for automated OS and Kubernetes provisioning.
Added details about installer requirements, upgrade limitations, and clarified steps for device activation and provisioning. Updated KPIs to reflect reduced deployment time and included a mermaid sequence diagram and deliverables for workflow 2.
