Description

Hello, could you add auto provisioning function to VyOS?
For example: i need to deploy 10 vyos based routers (for VPN branches). With a little bit difference in config.
So, i want to insert boot flash, connect network cable and... see a magic! =)
It could use DHCP for getting address of provisioning server, and MAC address for getting it's own config file.

Someone please remove the vyconf tag from this task, it has nothing to do with it. It can be added to 1.2.0 in fact!

This has nothing to do with vyconf. Please move it out of the project, and to vyos 1.2.0

Doesn't cloud-init fully cover this? We are provisioning our VPN endpoints fully via that and thus never need to touch the device once it is running. You need to provide an according config file + .iso at initial boot though, which might only be feasible when VyOS runs inside a VM.
