Overview
ASUS Infrastructure Deployment Center (AIDC) is an all-in-one infrastructure automation platform designed for large-scale bare-metal provisioning, configuration, and lifecycle management.
AIDC reduces deployment complexity by combining a web-based management portal with a powerful command-line interface, enabling teams to provision and operate HPC clusters, AI compute nodes, and data center infrastructure efficiently.
Key Capabilities
OS Provisioning
PXE-based automated OS deployment across heterogeneous hardware
BMC Management
Remote power control, credential management, and network configuration via IPMI/Redfish
Network Configuration
Ethernet, InfiniBand, bonding, VLAN, and DPU mode management
Firmware Lifecycle
BIOS/BMC/NIC/NVMe firmware validation and updates
Service Deployment
One-click deployment of Slurm, Kubernetes, MariaDB, Harbor, WEKA, UFM, and more
Hardware Diagnostics
Sensor monitoring (temperature, power, fan), hardware spec validation
Security
Firewall rules, SELinux policy management
Architecture
AIDC consists of two main components that work together:
Portal
The AIDC Portal provides a browser-based interface for day-to-day operations — managing nodes, launching deployment jobs, browsing the service marketplace, and monitoring cluster status. Suitable for operators who prefer a graphical workflow.
CLI
The AIDC CLI (aidc-cli) is a command-line tool for infrastructure engineers who need scripting capability, automation pipelines, or direct control over provisioning tasks. The CLI covers all platform capabilities, including advanced configuration not exposed through the Portal.
