Deploy an operating system on a Ceph node

Warning

Decapod does not perform bare metal provisioning, OS deployment, and network setup. Perform these operations by external means.

The OS must support cloud-init. Also, it must be possible to run your own user data. For the available datasources for cloud-init, see Datasources. Alternatively, you can set user data using the kernel command line. For bare metal provisioning, try MAAS. This section covers the MAAS installation and OS deployment with this tool.

The section contains the following topics:

• Generate user data for cloud-init
• Deploy OS using MAAS
