Hi I have a couple of questions.
- Do you deploy this system to operate a k8s cluster ? - If so, I imagine you disable the swap (?). But why are you deploying this stack over bare-metal, with no VM ? - Why not using kickstart, which is the redhat standard tftp system ? (I mean, I am a big of FAI and its powerful class system, but anyway that choice seems a bit odd to me), - btw, why not using k3s, rancherOS or whatever other k8s ready distro ? I have my opinion about these last questions, but I would also like to hear yours. Finally, I also had to deal with httpd/tftp issues. It depends on your booting system (I am using syslinux 6.0.4 + lighttpd for UEFI booting systems while I am using basic tftp for legacy boot clients).
