Ignition is an early-boot node configuration tool, based on a declarative configuration format and meant to run on first boot. It is capable of partitioning disks, creating filesystems, and writing configuration entries for full initial provisioning of a Linux host. This talk will describe design choices specific to Ignition, highlighting all the fundamental differences with traditional `cloud-init` approach. It will show how Ignition enables automated, declarative, immutable infrastructure patterns in clustered Linux deployments. Additionally it will cover Ignition architecture, internal Go patterns and initramfs integration. * https://github.com/coreos/ignition
