    Abstract: Examples of cloud-based provisioning of a computing system are disclosed. In an example, a baseboard management controller (BMC) of the computing system may be configured to establish a secure cloud provisioning connection between a cloud manager and the BMC. UEFI configuration may be received from the cloud manager over the secure cloud provisioning connection. A UEFI shell may be executed during a startup of the computing system initiated by the cloud manager. Based on the UEFI configuration, a provisioning proxy server communicatively coupled to a cloud repository may be identified. A startup script may be requested from the cloud repository over a network connection using a UEFI network stack. The startup script may download an image file via the provisioning proxy server from the cloud repository over the network connection and provision the computing system from the image file.
