Blueprint changed by Scott Moser: Whiteboard set to: User Stories: Rocky runs a MAAS cluster. The nodes have frequent turnover and installation time is time lost. Faster installation means higher usage time.
Assumptions: The fast path installer is intended to only support simplistic cloud-image-like installation. Users wishing for for more complex partition layout may need to use the debian installer path. Risks: bootloader installation is non-trivial. The debian installer does a good job of doing this. If we can't re-use that logic we risk failing to boot. UEFI boot is also complex and may be required for some systems. Test Plans: This code path will be used in the Ubuntu openstack CI framework to help it install faster. That will prove at least one functional path. Release Note: Nodes installed through MAAS can use the fast path installer to significantly reduce installation time. It results in a cloud-image like environment with customization available via cloud-init on first boot. -- fast server install for cloud-image like experience https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/servercloud-r-fastpath-install -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
