Scalable Fleet Management and Automation for Next-Gen Substations
summary
Flight Control provides a declarative fleet system that manages thousands of remote substations by running an agent calls home model instead of SSH controllers, using Bootc OCI OS images so kernels and boots loaders are distributed like containers, and enforcing TPM-backed client certificates plus signed images for end‑to‑end supply‑chain security. Devices zero‑touch provision, join label‑based fleets, download images, boot into a clean OS, run smart health checks and enable automatic rollback on failed health checks, staged rollouts, disruption budgets and scheduled downloads to cope with bandwidth limits.
