Consider adding a way (in the Ignition config itself, or on the kernel command line) to specify a URL Ignition can POST to report success or failure.
Other Information
Use cases:
- Cluster monitoring, e.g. nodes which fail provisioning due to a disk failure
- Platform-specific reporting via platform hooks, e.g. coreos/bugs#2130
- kola logging
