A Pythonic AMT provisioning, configuration and management library.
It is [very] loosely based on the OpenStack Ironic project, hence the name.
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.
See Wikipedia for more information.
Wry's functionality is exposed through the AMTDevice class. Initialize it as such:
>>> from wry import AMTDevice
>>> dev = AMTDevice(address, False, username, password)
You can then access different apects of device functionality, through aspect-specific namespaces. For example:
>>> dev.power.turn_on()
>>> dev.power.state
StateMap(state='on', sub_state=None)
Full documentation can be found on readthedocs.
Wry is in the early stages of development, and the interfaces it exposes may change as a result. Issues and pull requests are more than welcome.
Wry currently supports only Python 2.7. There are no philosophical reasons for this; it simply matches our target environment. Patches to support other platforms are welcome.
Wry relies on the wsman AMT protocol, and therefore supports AMT versions 7(?) onwards.
