The following table summarizes the maturity of Warewulf's top-level features.
|
|
Features are classified as follows:
|
|
|
|
* **Stable** -- Production-ready; the interface is well-tested and unlikely to
|
|
change in incompatible ways.
|
|
* **Preview** -- Functional, but may have rough edges, limited testing, or an
|
|
interface that is still evolving.
|
|
* **Incomplete** -- Work-in-progress; key functionality or the user-facing
|
|
interface is not yet complete.

|
- Preview
|
|
- Alternative bootloader; useful for UEFI and Secure Boot scenarios.
|
|
* - Single-stage boot
|

|
- Default provisioning mode; the OS image is used directly as the root
|
|
filesystem.
|
|
* - Two-stage boot
|
|
- Preview
|
|
- Uses an intermediate initrd to initialize hardware before loading the
|
|
final OS image. Requires Dracut-based images.
|
|
* - Nodes
|
|
- Stable
|
|
- Core node management (add, remove, configure, list).
|
|
* - Profiles
|
|
- Stable
|
|
- Abstract node profiles for sharing configuration across groups of nodes.
|
|
* - Overlays
|
|
- Stable
|
|
- Template-based file provisioning applied to OS images at boot and at
|
|
runtime.

* - OS images
|
|
- Stable
|
|
- Container-based OS image import, management, and provisioning.
|
|
* - Read-only images
|
|
- Preview
|
|
- Marking an image read-only to enable future support for image
|
|
subscriptions and updates.
|
|
* - Kernels
|
|
- Stable
|
|
- Kernel extraction from OS images and per-node kernel management.
|
|
* - Disk provisioning
|
|
- Preview
|
|
- Partitioning and formatting disks on cluster nodes during provisioning.
|
|
* - Provision-to-disk
|
|
- Preview
|
|
- Provisioning an OS image to disk so that the node can subsequently boot
|
|
without Warewulf.
|
|
* - Resources
|
|
- Incomplete
|
|
- Generic node resources; the user-facing interface is not yet complete.
|
|
* - Secure Boot
|
|
- Preview
|
|
- UEFI Secure Boot support via signed bootloaders.
|
|
* - dnsmasq
