Provisioning and Deployment Mechanisms in systemd
In recent systemd releases we substantially improved the tooling for provisioning and deploying operating systems with systemd. For example, systemd-sysinstall, systemd-sysupdate, credentials, systemd-firstboot, systemd-stub's parameterization logic, systemd-confext, systemd-imds, systemd-import all are relevant components for getting a node up and running with the right configuration, securely and robustly.
In this talk I'd like to explain the current landscape, and how the various components matter in various scenarios, and how they fit together. I'll also discuss what's next, what's missing, and where we should be going with all this.
