Cloud-Init Makes It Personal

🔧 Cloud-Init: Flexible, Automated, Secure#

Cloud-Init is the de facto standard for customizing cloud instances at boot. OpenCHAMI extends this power to compute nodes, ensuring that every system gets the right configuration at the right time.

🚀 Why Cloud-Init in OpenCHAMI?#

✔️ Per-node identity – Dynamically assigns each node an identity and configurations tailored to its role.
✔️ Automated bootstrapping – Ensures all compute nodes start with the correct software, settings, and secrets.
✔️ WireGuard integration – Establishes secure, encrypted tunnels between nodes and the cloud-init server.
✔️ Group-based configurations – Assign settings per node group, hardware type, or workload profile.
✔️ Immutable, stateless provisioning – Define everything declaratively and keep nodes clean.
