Auto-configuration applicance - are there any out there

I'm in the market for an auto-configuration appliance - something I can plug into the console and mgmt eth of a device, and have it connect to the device and do assorted initial configuration tasks (firmware upgrades, config application, testing that the config is working as intended).

Standard DHCP based ZTP would be lovely to be able to use, but a bunch of our kit has poor/uneven implementation, or annoying limitations (e.g. it'll take config, but won't do firmware upgrades).

If necessary I'll build something myself, but if I can throw (not absurd amounts of) money at someone and make the problem go away, that'd be great.

Is anyone aware of such a beast?
