From Disk Images To Container Images: Deploying Bootc To Bare Metal With Kubernetes an...
Talkat KubeCon + CloudNativeCon + OpenInfra Summit + PyTorch Conference China 2026 · 2026-09-07..09-09·
summary
Demonstrates deploying a bootable OS packaged as a bootc OCI container image so OpenStack Ironic (Flamingo/Gaspacho) with Metal3/metal‑cubed autodetect pulls image layers directly from a registry and the Ironic Python agent runs bootc install on the host via podman, writing files to disk and completing provisioning with no qcow2 built or distributed. Shows artifact support, the removed provision server hop, and an end‑to‑end demo of registry→host provisioning.
