 The Metal plugin acts as a connection link between DHCP and the IronCore metal stack. It creates an `EndPoint` object for each machine with leased IP address. Those endpoints are then consumed by the metal operator, who then creates the corresponding `Machine` objects.
 
 ### Configuration
-Path to an inventory json shall be passed as a string. It represents a list of machines as follows:
-```bash
-[
-  {
-    "name": "Server-01",

-  },
-  {
