Revising Frequently asked questions on Metal3 Website

[Salima Rabiu]

Hello Everyone,
I would like to update the questions in the FAQ section to answer the questions first time users might have, the current questions there don't exactly serve that purpose...I am quite sure that at some point we've all had thoughts about possible questions that can be answered in the FAQ section on the website to make first experience better, please i would greatly appreciate if you could all send in these questions for this purpose.

Thanks

Hi!

Thank you for driving this! Here are some suggested questions from me (in no particular order):

- How does Metal3 relate to Cluster API (CAPI)?

- What is Cluster API provider Metal3 (CAPM3)?

- What is Ironic and how does Metal3 relate to it?

- Do I need to use Cluster API with Metal3 or can I use only Metal3?

Best regards,

Lennart Jern

Hi,

Thanks for improving the FAQ!

I can think of these questions that might be interesting for newcomers:

• What kind of BMC management protocols are supported ?
• What kind of boot processes can be paired with specific BMC protocols?
• How can one supply network configuration during provisioning?
• How do I enable TLS support (and supply certificates) for Ironic API and for the different BMC protocols and boot processes?
• What CPU architectures are supported?
• Can I use BMO without CAPM3 and CAPI?

These are all great questions. Let's maybe start a shared document, so that we can also collaborate on *answers*?

Hi!

Sorry for the delay, I've populated the document with more questions, fixed or provided some answers.

If you're fine with it, feel free to propose it for review.
