Summary: Tools for interacting with Intel's Active Management Technology
Description:
AMT is a light weight hardware control interface put into some Intel based laptops and desktops as a tool for corporate fleets to manage hardware. It provides the basics of power control, as well as remote console via VNC. It functions by having a dedicated service processor sniff traffic off the network card on specific ports before it gets to the operating system. Some versions of Intel NUC boxes have AMT, which make them ideal candidates for building a reasonable cluster in your basement. There was once a tool called ``amttool`` which let you interact with these systems from Linux. This used the SOAP interface to AMT. That was removed in v9 of the firmware, which means it no longer works with modern AMT in the field. The interface that remains is CIM, a standard from the DMTF that builds XML models for all the things. There exist very few examples for how to make this work on the internet, with one exception: the OpenStack Baremetal (Ironic) service. It has native support for AMT hardware control. This project is derivative work from Ironic. The heavy lifting of understanding all the CIM magic incantations, and oh the magic they are, comes from that code. Refactored for a more minimal usage.
