ESXi Provisioning with Digital Rebar

Welcome to the Digital Rebar documentation for provisioning VMware ESXi.

Overview: ESXi Provisioning

Using Digital Rebar, we've built a robust ESXi provisioning pipeline that:

  • Discovers hardware and inventories system details
  • Automates the ESXi installation process
  • Supports both Secure Boot and legacy boot environments
  • Does not require VIBs or unsigned components
  • Manages post-install configurations through parameterized workflows

Whether you're deploying to a single server or scaling across a datacenter, Digital Rebar ensures your ESXi installs are consistent, fast, and hands-off.
