* Ensure that Matchbox (open-source) and Tectonic (enterprise) are kept separate, Tectonic has its own docs * Matchbox is agnostic to Kubernetes distribution
matchbox 
matchbox is a service that matches bare-metal machines (based on labels like MAC, UUID, etc.) to profiles that PXE boot and provision Container Linux clusters. Profiles specify the kernel/initrd, kernel arguments, iPXE config, GRUB config, Container Linux Config, or other configs a machine should use. Matchbox can be installed as a binary, RPM, container image, or deployed on a Kubernetes cluster and it provides an authenticated gRPC API for clients like Terraform.
