Goal of the project:

Provide a self-installing RHEL image to Edge usecases.

The image should be registering itself after installation by the first boot at a cerntral single source of truth instance, that is accessible by AAP (Ansible Automation Platform's Automation Controller) as an inventory.

Milestones defined:

1. Have a RHEL Image Bilder Template, that can be used to build different image formats (done and tested for x86).
2. Build it in rpm-ostree format (rhel-edge) too.
3. Create the bootscript, assume Public IP at this stage for registration/connection.
4. Push updates and/or workload (containers) to the device.
5. Port the template to ARM (still VM!) too
6. Create a HW-bootable ISO image (both HW platforms) and optional: Azure/AWS VM images too.
7. Consider options for Ansible communication in case the Edge device doesn't have a public IP.
