kexec from the agent

Open smira opened this issue 4 years ago • 0 comments

This contains two changes:

  • Sidero always PXE boots the agent (if the server reaches out for PXE boot)
  • If Talos is already installed, Sidero agent kexecs into the installed Talos (by reading GRUB configuration)
  • if server has to wiped, registered, etc., agent performs requested action and goes into long-polling mode
  • once server is allocated, agent downloads kernel + initramfs from Sidero and kexecs into it to start the installation process

(As Talos does kexec as well, it means that server can be provisioned without a single reboot from agent straight into Talos)
