为用户提供物理服务器的现有裸金属服务在其虚拟替代方案上具有许多严重的缺点，包括较慢的配置时间，用户难以发布服务器（物理机器），然后再利用它们来处理需求的更改和差的更改容忍失败。我们介绍了M2，这是一种使用网络安装的启动驱动器来克服这些缺点的裸机云服务。我们描述了M2的架构和实现，并将其敏捷性，可扩展性和性能与现有系统进行比较。我们表明，在提供更丰富的功能的同时，M2可以将供应时间减少超过50％，并且相对于将图像提供为本地磁盘的工具而言可比的运行时间性能。 M2是开源的，可在https://github.com/cci-moc/ims上找到。
Existing bare-metal cloud services that provide users with physical servers have a number of serious disadvantages over their virtual alternatives, including slow provisioning times, difficulty for users to release servers (physical machines) and then reuse them to handle changes in demand, and poor tolerance to failures. We introduce M2, a bare-metal cloud service that uses network-mounted boot drives to overcome these disadvantages. We describe the architecture and implementation of M2 and compare its agility, scalability and performance to existing systems. We show that M2 can reduce provisioning time by over 50% while offering richer functionality, and comparable run time performance with respect to tools that provision images into local disks. M2 is open source and available at https://github.com/CCI-MOC/ims.
