Custom Ubuntu for Dell Servers

I need a tailored Ubuntu image for my Dell PowerEdge servers. Main focus is a secure and efficient database environment, with key details pre-configured: - Ensure compatibility with Dell PowerEdge models. - The image will support a database server environment, optimized for high performance and stability. - Critical features must be automated with Ansible: * Security hardening configurations to protect sensitive data * Custom network settings for optimized connectivity * Essential software packages pre-installed for immediate functionality Ideal Candidate: - Proficient with Packer and Ansible - Experience customizing Ubuntu for servers - Strong understanding of Dell hardware compatibility - Knowledgeable in database server optimization - Solid background in network configuration and security I require expertise and diligence to deliver a reliable, secure server foundation and below tasks Capture and review the Ansible code needed to validate and update all device firmware from within the pre-built OS image. The image will be either written to the host (local disk install) at which time the ansible will be launched via cloud-init (ansible having been one of the tools installed into our validation Ubuntu 22.04.6 LTS image), or it will run in that image but booted as an in-memory OS (and again, ansible will be triggered within the running image). Dell BIOS and CPU microcode Dell iDRAC firmware (if possible from the booted OS) Network cards and firmware config (e.g. ensure a default boot mode of iPXE)
