[RFE] IONOS Cloud support #1570
Description
Current situation
Currently no IONOS Cloud specific images exist.
Impact
It is not trivial or documented on how to use Flatcar in the IONOS Cloud. QEMU images start but Ignition or Cloud-Init user-data and sshkey injection are missing.
Ideal future situation
Simple build and deployment of IONOS Cloud compatible images.
Implementation parts
- Ignition support: Add support for IONOS Cloud coreos/ignition#1957
- flatcar/scripts: OEM: IONOS Cloud Images scripts#2389
- flatcar/init: OEM: IONOS Cloud Images init#127
- flatcar/coreos-cloudinit: OEM: IONOS Cloud Images coreos-cloudinit#29
- Documentation: (open)
Afterburn support: (open)(postponed until we have a proper metadata server)flatcar/bootengine: OEM: IONOS Cloud Images bootengine#100(no changes necessary)
Additional information
The IONOS Cloud as of yet doesn't have a metadata server. Therefore sshkeys and user-data is injected into the volume drive before a new Compute Engine / VM starts for the first time. The injection happens into the /var/lib/cloud/seed/nocloud/[user/meta]-data files.
