Description

BMC Operator

BMC Operator is a new component added as part of the release. It is a software extension of Kubernetes and is used to manage various BMC operations that include the deployment and management of BIOS, boot order, volume, firmware and event subscription operations.

More information on BMC Operator and its operations are documented in BMC Operator Readme.

Support for additional SecureBoot APIs
