iPXE — Agentic Stack

An agentic stack that teaches AI agents to build, deploy, and operate iPXE network boot infrastructure.

What This Stack Covers

• Foundation — iPXE architecture, building from source, build-time configuration
• Deployment — Chainloading, ROM burning, bootable media, VMware, AWS EC2, Google Cloud
• Boot Targets — Linux distributions, Windows PE/WDS/SCCM, SAN (iSCSI/FCoE/AoE)
• Infrastructure — DHCP server configuration, iPXE scripting, HTTPS and certificate security
• Operations — Troubleshooting decision trees, console configuration
• Reference — Command reference, settings reference, build targets, known issues

Usage

agentic-stacks init agentic-stacks/ipxe my-netboot-project
cd my-netboot-project

The agent reads CLAUDE.md and becomes an iPXE expert operator.

Composability

This stack pairs well with:

• Hardware provisioning stacks (Dell, HP, Supermicro) for bare-metal fleet management
• Kubernetes/OS stacks for automated cluster bootstrapping
• Configuration management stacks (Ansible, Salt) for post-boot provisioning
