    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.

    Abstract: Some examples relate to firmware updates. In an example, a first core system determines firmware updates to be installed on the first core system and auxiliary systems of a data center. The first core system sends firmware update package generation instructions to a cloud infrastructure comprising data center firmware updates. The first core system downloads a firmware update package from the cloud infrastructure. The first core system updates firmware of the first core system, based on one or more firmware updates in the firmware update package. The first core system receives a request for a specific firmware update from an auxiliary system. Based on the request received from the auxiliary system, the first core system identifies the specific firmware update for the auxiliary system from the firmware update package. The first core system provides the specific firmware update to the auxiliary system.

    Abstract: Example techniques for granting permissions for performing an operation related to a backup copy are described. The backup copy corresponds to first device data and the first device data is stored in a first device. In an example, in response to receiving a request to perform the operation related to the backup copy, telemetry data received from the first device is analyzed. Based on the analysis, it is determined that security of the first device is uncompromised. Based on the determination, a permission to perform the operation related to the backup copy is granted.

    Abstract: Examples described herein relate a method, a system, and a non-transitory machine-readable medium for restoring a computing resource. The method may include determining whether the computing resource is required to be restored on a recovery node using a backup of the computing resource stored in a backup storage node. A resource restore operation may be triggered on the recovery node in response to determining that the computing resource is required to be restored. The resource restore operation include copying a subset of the objects from the backup to the recovery node to form, from the subset of objects, a partial filesystem instance of the computing resource on the recovery node that is operable as a restored computing resource on the recovery node.
