Comment on Rackspace Announces API driven Bare Metal Servers

I would love to know how this is being done, exactly.

Something like having banks of live unprovisioned machines with a managed switching infrastructure, KVM-over-IP, some sort of netboot or UEFI installer for OS installation, all managed via an API?

That's how SoftLayer does it, since 2005.
