[16:14] <MICROburst> is cloud-init intended to replace things like kickstart?
[16:53] <meena> MICROburst: depending on your work flow, you'd use kick-start to build your images, and then you'd use cloud-init to finalise it on boot
[19:15] <MICROburst> meena: build an image with RedHat's kickstart? - Odd perspective. Are there any good tutorials? I would like to PXE boot the machine and have a per machine config. What can I hand over to cloud-init? Some examples, I have seen seem to use grub instead of iPXE.
[20:18] <meena> MICROburst: packer → iso or pxe boot (https://www.packer.io/docs/provisioners) → kickstart for install → export the finished product as your VM Host image: https://www.packer.io/docs/builders / https://www.packer.io/docs/post-processors )
[20:19] <meena> MICROburst: so, are we talking about VMs or hardware, btw?
[21:55] <MICROburst> meena: bare metal as well as VMs. Currently iPXE and kickstart. No more kickstart due to migration to ubuntu.
[22:18] <meena> MICROburst: aah, yeah, that Debian seed thing is something else
[22:28] <meena> imagine kickstart invented by people after they had managed to rule
