Claim:
1. A server provisioning data processing system comprising: an orchestration and provisioning server comprising at least one processor and memory and coupled to a plurality of target computing nodes over a computer communications network; and, orchestration and provisioning logic executing in the memory of the orchestration and provisioning server, the orchestration and provisioning logic comprising program code enable to: group the plurality of target computing nodes into different groups of the target computing nodes according to grouping criteria, server provision a root node in each of the different groups of target computing nodes by applying a bundle to one target computing node in each of the different groups of target computing nodes, where the bundle includes a collection of components and support files required to complete server provisioning for the root node and levels below the root node within a hierarchy of the root node, and, rely upon the root node in each of the different groups to peer-to-peer server provision remaining nodes in each of the different groups resulting in the bundle being applied to at least one level below the root node within the hierarchy of the root node in each of the different groups of target computing nodes.
