I’m looking for Windows Deployment Services equivalent for my Linux network. At the momment I’m using Cobbler (https://cobbler.github.io/) but I’m are looking for a software where I could place .iso images and PXE boot for any machine.

Take a look at Cobbler. I’ve used it for quite a few years & love it. It supports both preseed & kickstart.

I haven’t setup a PXE server in a long time. There are management tools like MaaS, Collins, Cobbler, etc that deal with the provisioning of systems.

If you built a Linux Cobbler server you can do this all.

Individual machines should be bootstraped via PXE. You can use a system like MAAS, Cobbler, Foreman, Collins, etc.

This sounds like you built Cobbler in Ansible :).

This one turns up in a quick google visit: FAI or Cobbler.

I did this for a few years with cobbler (https://cobbler.github.io/). cobbler, pxe, bootp, tftp, ansible and friends pretty much solve this problem. In fact, if you know the mac addresses (or ranges) you can fairly easily designate groups of machines, roles, and the like. Years ago I did this to “rapidly” provision a couple of thousand machines we bought for the stock exchange. You can do most of your testing…

It’s been done before but I never felt satisfied with existing solutions. I know Foreman (Ruby), Cobbler (Python), Digital Rebar (Go, not open source) . With the exception of the last one, they are orchestrators for external DHCP, TFTP, HTTP servers, which means you run tons of different software.
