Zusammenfassung:A bare metal resource includes a trusted portion and an untrusted portion. The trusted portion includes trusted hardware, an image repository, and a clearance manager. The clearance manager is executable during bootup of the bare metal resource to perform a clearance process on the untrusted portion, including deleting the BIOS in the untrusted portion and loading a trusted BIOS from the image repository on the untrusted hardware, to place the untrusted portion in a trusted state. The bare metal resource may be provisioned to a tenant of a cloud provider after being placed in the trusted state.
