Can we get rid of SLE Micro custom images?

[srbarrios]

Description

Currently we are re-building the SLE Micro images here:
https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/systemsmanagement:sumaform:images:microos/SUSE-MicroOS52

With the purpose of including some extra package and configure using Ignite.

Idea

Would it be possible to get rid of this re-build in OBS.
And do the ignite configuration inside sumaform? As we do with images supporting cloud-init?

What we do with cloud-init support images:
https://github.com/uyuni-project/sumaform/blob/master/backend_modules/libvirt/host/user_data.yaml

A place where we can do it for Ignite support images:
https://github.com/uyuni-project/sumaform/blob/master/backend_modules/libvirt/host/config.ign

Ignite? Do you mean Ignition? I am afraid ignition is running too soon to be able to install packages. SLE Micro uses Combustion for later stage configuration.

There is no automatic support for combustion in libvirt provider, but this doesn't mean it can't be created manually. Combustion simply runs bash script script.sh from combustion directory on any media with label ignition or combustion. See https://en.opensuse.org/Portal:MicroOS/Combustion

Btw I created topic about this for previous Hackweek 22 ( https://hackweek.opensuse.org/22/projects/add-combustion-support-to-the-terraform-provider-libvirt ) and got one person for it, but at the end no PR, so if someone wants go practice, here you go :)
