* Both Flatcar Linux and Fedora CoreOS now support Ignition v2 (spec v3.x) for machine consumption * Drop support for Ignition v0.35.0 (Ignition spec v2.x) * Drop support for Container Linux Configs (the YAML format that rendered to Ignition v2.x JSON for Flatcar Linux)
matchbox
matchbox is a service that matches bare-metal machines to profiles that PXE boot and provision clusters. Machines are matched by labels like MAC or UUID during PXE and profiles specify a kernel/initrd, iPXE config, and Ignition config.
Features
- Chainload via iPXE and match hardware labels
- Provision Fedora CoreOS or Flatcar Linux (powered by Ignition)
- Authenticated gRPC API for clients (e.g. Terraform)
