Project Description

Ignition and combustion are the json configuration files used in SLE Micro/Leap Micro/Microos/ALP. These originated in Fedora CoreOS - so it is not distribution-specific.

Uyuni should be able to provision these systems without requiring users to learn the json formatting and layout. Salt has json output, and formulas with forms are used in other cases in Uyuni.

Provisioning has long been a key value in Uyuni/SUMA, and this extends the viability in directions that will matter now and in the future.

Integration into a deployment process would be the next logical step - but just getting the right files is a great start.

Goal for this Hackweek

Creating a formula with forms that can be selected in Uyuni that outputs the ignition/combustion json files.
