reBot – using Lego for bare metal deployments on Intel NUC http://www.cloudbase.it/rebot/

Cloudbase uses a lot of Intel Next Unit of Computing (NUC) http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/nuc/nuc-kit-d54250wyk.html for internal testing and development work. NUCs lack the ability to power them on and off remotely, like higher grade servers do with technologies likeIPMI http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intelligent_Platform_Management_Interface, AMT http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/architecture-and-technology/intel-active-management-technology.html, iLO http://h17007.www1.hp.com/us/en/enterprise/servers/management/ilo/index.aspx. In pure hacker spirit, Cloudbase invented their own to have some fun. Spoiler alert: it involves Lego.
