1. A method for managing an onboarding of a data processing system, the method comprising:
by a configuration device that is configured to onboard the data processing system:
obtaining tag information from a physical tag affixed to a physical surface of the data processing system, the tag information comprising a link and a globally unique identifier for the data processing system;
sending a message to a rendezvous system using the link to initiate the onboarding of the data processing system via a control plane, the message comprising the globally unique identifier from the tag;
using, based on redirection of the configuration device to the control plane by the rendezvous system in response to the rendezvous system receiving the message from the configuration device, a graphical user interface generated and provided by the control plane to complete the onboarding of the data processing system, the control plane being implemented using a computing device that is separate and distinct from all of the data processing system, the configuration device, and the rendezvous system, and the graphical user interface being provided by the control plane to the configuration device; and
completing the onboarding of the data processing system using the graphical user interface and the control plane.
