Bare Metal Installer for Fedora Atomic Host
Summary
To produce a bare metal installer suitable for installing Fedora Atomic Host 22 on "bare metal" (e.g., directly on a server rather than running on top of some kind of cloud or virtualization).
Owner
- Name: Joe Brockmeier Ian McLeod
- Email: Joe Brockmeier <jzb@fedoraproject.org> | Ian McLeod <imcleod@redhat.com>
- Release notes owner:
- Product: Cloud
- Responsible WG: Cloud
Current status
- Targeted release: Fedora 22
- Last updated: 2015-01-20
- Tracker bug: <will be assigned by the Wrangler>
Detailed Description
In Fedora 21 we shipped Fedora Atomic Host as an AMI for use in Amazon EC2, and as a qcow2 suitable for use with OpenStack, KVM, etc.
For Fedora 22 we wish to expand the coverage of Fedora Atomic Host to make it installable on "bare metal" so users are able to run Atomic Host directly on a server, workstation, etc. without the need for a cloud or virtualzation layer underneath the host.
Benefit to Fedora
This will expand the usability of a Fedora offering to a wider audience, and provide better support for users and developers interested in using Fedora Atomic Host in their environments.
Adding bare metal support is really an expansion on work done in Fedora 22.
Scope
- Proposal owners: Work with rel-eng to add bare metal support. The patches *should* be in Anaconda already, it should mostly be a matter of producing the builds via Koji.
- Other developers: May require some coordination with Anaconda folks.
- Release engineering: Work with Cloud Working Group to turn on support for bare metal builds, add bare metal to regularly produced builds.
- Policies and guidelines:
No obvious impact.
Upgrade/compatibility impact
New deliverable - this should have no impact on existing Fedora installations.
How To Test
This will largely consist of normal installation tests and the same tests users run to test Fedora Atomic Hosts, with the addition of using Anaconda to install to a system and configuring storage.
User Experience
Users will be able to use Fedora Atomic on bare metal systems.
Dependencies
- Support in Anaconda to provide bare metal installs of rpm-ostree content. (Should already be present.)
Contingency Plan
- Contingency mechanism: If not ready, will not ship for Fedora 22.
- Contingency deadline: Beta freeze.
- Blocks release? No.
- Blocks product? No.
