 ## 🚀 Features
 
 - **Automated Host Setup**: Installs and configures `libvirt`, `qemu-kvm`, and `libguestfs-tools`.
-- **Immutable OS Support**: Handles the specific boot-time configuration requirements for:
-  - **CoreOS/Flatcar**: Generates and injects Ignition JSON configurations.
-  - **MicroOS**: Generates and injects Cloud-init user-data.
+- **Ignition Support**: Generates and injects Ignition configuration for all supported OSs via the `fw_cfg` QEMU feature.
 - **Custom User Provisioning**: Automatically creates a default user with a hashed password and injects your SSH public key.
 - **Modular Design**: Uses Ansible roles for host preparation, configuration generation, and VM provisioning.

 ## 🔍 How it Works
 
 Since immutable OSs do not use traditional installers, this setup uses a "seed" approach:
-1. **Config Generation**: The `os_config` role creates a JSON (Ignition) or YAML (Cloud-init) file based on your variables.
-2. **Image Customization**: The `vm_provision` role downloads the official `.qcow2` cloud image and uses `virt-customize` (from `libguestfs-tools`) to inject the configuration directly into the disk image before the VM is started.
-3. **Deployment**: `virt-install` is used to create the VM with UEFI boot and the customized disk.
+1. **Config Generation**: The `os_config` role creates a JSON Ignition configuration file based on your variables.
+2. **Deployment**: `virt-install` is used to create the VM with UEFI boot. The `--sysinfo` flag is used to provide the Ignition config via the `fw_cfg` device, which the immutable OSs (CoreOS, Flatcar, MicroOS) process at first boot.
