DriverPack Catalogs used by OEMs are in varying formats and are not universal. In previous versions of OSDCloud, these files were compiled and converted into JSON format, known as the OSDCloud DriverPack Catalog. This format sometimes required some time to build before being published in an updated OSDCloud, leading to out of date or unavailable DriverPacks.
DriverPack Catalogs in Raw Format (unmodified) allow for faster updates of OSDCloud to use the latest available OEM DriverPacks.

In the screenshot below, the DriverPack Catalogs are included their native format in the OSDCloud PowerShell Module. When launching Deploy-OSDCloud, these files are used to generate the DriverPack options for OSDCloud, without the need for a master DriverPack Catalog.
