Provisioning with Razor requires certain objects that define how nodes are provisioned.

• Repositories – Contain objects used for installation, such as operating systems.
• Tasks – Define the actions Razor performs on a node, most commonly installation of a specified operating system.
• Tags – Identify nodes based on their characteristics.
• Policies – Tell Razor which repositories, brokers, and tasks to use for provisioning.
• Brokers – Hand off management of a node after provisioning.
• Hooks – Run scripts in response to certain events in a node’s lifecycle.
