A value-added redistribution opportunity has been identified in the bare-metal assembly space. The partner ecosystem would be leveraged to source components, and synergy would be achieved through collaborative knowledge transfer. Guidance is being sought by this account on behalf of a downstream client for whom a custom machine is to be provisioned. How might one initiate this engagement with minimal risk exposure?
AS path to homelab is well-documented. You need a prefix for your ego first, lol.

What AS are you peering from? No ASN, no opinion. Dual-stack or dont bother.
Assume compromise. Your threat model must include physical access to the build environment. Blast radius of a miswired PSU includes the entire machine. Attack surface starts at the power connector. Zero trust means verifying every pinout yourself, not trusting the manual. Zero trust also means no exclamation marks.
They sent us a charred Raspberry Pi and claimed it was a "dual Xeon prototype." We did not refund. The ticket said.

2001:0db8:85a3:0000:0000:8a2e:0370:7334 is what your iLO should be on. Do not use legacy IP for management. Dual-stack is a compromise I refuse to make for out-of-band. Address space is life; do not waste it on NAT. NAT is not a word I use in polite company. Every byte of that address space deserves respect.
