Ignition is currently only supported for the following platforms:
- Bare Metal - Use the
ignition.config.url
kernel parameter to provide a URL to the configuration (alsoflatcar.config.url
ORcoreos.config.url
are accepted). The URL can use thehttp://
,https://
,tftp://
, ors3://
schemes to specify a remote config or theoem://
scheme to specify a local config, rooted in/usr/share/oem
. - PXE - Use the
ignition.config.url
andflatcar.first_boot=1
(in case of the very first PXE boot only) kernel parameters to provide a URL to the configuration (alsoflatcar.config.url
ORcoreos.config.url
, andcoreos.first_boot=1
are accepted). The URL can use thehttp://
,https://
,tftp://
, ors3://
schemes to specify a remote config or theoem://
scheme to specify a local config, rooted in/usr/share/oem
. - Amazon EC2 - Ignition will read its configuration from the instance userdata. SSH keys are handled by coreos-metadata.
- Microsoft Azure - Ignition will read its configuration from the custom data provided to the instance. SSH keys are handled by the Azure Linux Agent.
- VMware - Use the VMware Guestinfo variables
ignition.config.data
andignition.config.data.encoding
to provide the config and its encoding to the virtual machine (alsocoreos.config.data
andcoreos.config.data.encoding
are accepted). Valid encodings are "", "base64", and "gzip+base64". Guestinfo variables can be provided directly or via an OVF environment, with priority given to variables specified directly. - Google Compute Engine - Ignition will read its configuration from the instance metadata entry named "user-data". SSH keys are handled by coreos-metadata.
- Packet - Ignition will read its configuration from the instance userdata. SSH keys are handled by coreos-metadata.
- QEMU - Ignition will read its configuration from the 'opt/org.flatcar-linux/config' key on the QEMU Firmware Configuration Device.
- DigitalOcean - Ignition will read its configuration from the droplet userdata. SSH keys and network configuration are handled by coreos-metadata.
Ignition is under active development so expect this list to expand in the coming months.
