描述
The problem of "agents" is long-running and difficult. With bootc we have made it trivial to embed them in the base OS image. However, while that creates a simple story and generally works, it lifecycle binds the OS to the agent, which is not always desired.
Today Fedora CoreOS basically reimplements minimal cloud support in a generic way in ignition/afterburn. cloud-init handles many things, but not all. There's vmware-guest-agent etc.
We're having some discussions in Fedora-derivative land about trying to make "generic" bootc systems, and I think one possible approach here that would feel nice is to add support for `/etc/bootc/bound-images.d` paralleling our existing `/usr/lib/bootc/bound-images.d`.
The idea here is basically that we could support shipping e.g. cloud-init or vmware-guest-agent as a privileged container, and in a `bootc install to-existing-root` scenario the installer could dynamically detect the platform at install time and add relevant agents into `/etc/bootc/bound-images.d`. So by default they'd be required for OS upgrades, and the image data would continue to live in the bootc c/storage instance. The only "mutable" state would be that their presence is requested via `/etc` and not `/usr` - decoupling them from the fully generic base OS.
OR perhaps arguably...we add dynamism to the current LBI in a systemd-style way `ConditionVirtualization=vmware` or `ConditionKernelCommandLine=ignition.platform.id=vmware` or so.
