IoT Simplified Provisioning

Summary

Offer Fedora IoT users a new, non-release blocking deliverable to deploy and configure Fedora IoT systems using a new tool called Simplified Provisioning.

Owner


Current status

Detailed Description

The Fedora IoT Simplified Provisioning tool uses the coreos-installer to write an OStree raw image straight to a disk specified in a kernel argument, without the need for a kickstart or user interaction. This type of installation is ideal for devices connected at the edge where connectivity can be slow or intermittent. This new, non-release blocking deliverable, offers users the ability to easily configure the system with Fido Device Onboarding or Ignition and allows for headless, secure, zero touch installations including optional automated disk encryption with enrollment into TPM2.
