Description

From https://github.com/coreos/ignition/pull/1923#issuecomment-4132246401:

Tangentially on this but Ignition still doesn't support fetching from OCI, right? IMO defining an OCI artifact format for Ignition and supporting fetching from it should actually become the default flow even. Nowadays there's so many good tools for OCI artifacts.

And the key here is: OCI is already cloud/platform independent and most IaaS systems support registry-as-service as well - we don't need per-hypervisor secrets for that.
