Running Uyuni everywhere

From Bare Metal to Cloud

Uyuni is undergoing a massive architectural shift. What started as a traditional server application evolved into “fat containers” managed by mgradm, and has now reached a milestone: a flexible, “almost” cloud-native solution. While Podman remains a core pillar, Uyuni now expands its horizons to RKE2…and why not something else!

This transition isn’t just a change in packaging; it’s a fundamental modernization effort. However, moving to the cloud brings its own set of challenges, validated setups, and architectural limits.

In this tutorial, we will get our hands dirty by:
– Deploying Uyuni on various container runtimes, with a primary focus on RKE2.
– Exploring the shift from manual RPMs, scripts, and static configuration files to a streamlined “spin up and go” container workflow.
– What’s the next step? Where we are today, the hurdles we’ve cleared, and Uyuni’s cloud-native future.

Join this session to learn how to leverage the power of Kubernetes for system management and see how Uyuni is adapting to the modern infrastructure landscape.
