Sorry, I have no idea myself. I was hoping that this stuff would be
reasonably common knowledge but apparently in the embedded space people
guard their stuff jealously.

In my space (ISPs) we tend to proudly show off our deployment magic at
every chance and every seminar, mostly to get bragging rights and
brownie points plus a good healthy dose of one-upmanship.

And everyone knows everyone else anyway, half of us have worked at every
other ISP at least once  - no such thing as keeping your internal
systems secret :-)
