Sometimes your just need a buffer for a syscall. Newing a buffer is canonical and unique_ptr isn’t free enough to use in the most performance sensitive contexts.

PXE boot it every single time and if it fails it goes on the repair list and some tech looks at it within 90 days and I DGAF about one dead cow.

Cattle is when you DGAF that 1% of your machines failed to reboot. A tech can deal with it whenever.

Open up your computer, pull out the bmc, throw it in the garbage. If you are reliant on these things then you are still in a pet-computer world and you’ll benefit greatly by moving to the cattle model. This article has a section on why you need a bmc but doesn’t succeed in advocating for it. It’s another computer inside your main computer with its own set of flaws, bugs, and costs.
