# matchbox [![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/coreos/matchbox.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/coreos/matchbox) [![GoDoc](https://godoc.org/github.com/coreos/matchbox?status.png)](https://godoc.org/github.com/coreos/matchbox) [![Docker Repository on Quay](https://quay.io/repository/coreos/matchbox/status "Docker Repository on Quay")](https://quay.io/repository/coreos/matchbox) [![IRC](https://img.shields.io/badge/irc-%23coreos-449FD8.svg)](https://botbot.me/freenode/coreos)
`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][cl-config], or other configs a machine should use. Matchbox can be [installed](Documentation/deployment.md) as a binary, RPM, container image, or deployed on a Kubernetes cluster and it provides an authenticated gRPC API for clients like [Terraform][terraform].
