Add diagrams of provisioning methods

Open Lennonka opened this issue 8 months ago • 17 comments

New diagrams to describe provisioning methods in PlantUML (SVG export available).

The diagrams will not be included in the docs for now, but I will include them once I'll document the provisioning methods properly. This classification of provisioning methods is incompatible with the current docs.

Classification of provisioning methods

  • Installer-based provisioning with network boot

    • PXE boot
    • HTTP boot
  • Installer-based provisioning with boot disk

    • Full host image
    • Subnet image
  • Image-based provisioning

    • with cloud-init script
    • with Finish script

In some cases I had to guess a lot, so don't take my word as gospel and raise your concerns if you think it's wrong.

Please cherry-pick my commits into: N/A (hoping to finish it for 3.12)
