It depends a little, ARMv7 or aarch64? The mechanism will work for
ARMv7, for aarch64 you'll need to use imagefactory.
You can also run the install directly on the device as you can use
u-boot to PXE boot and kick off an install using tftp like on x86,
depending a little on the device some people will even put u-boot on a
small SD card, eg an old 128Mb one from a phone, and then pxe/tftp
install to another medium. With F-28 in theory (I'm not sure anyone
has had a chance to test it) you can use uEFI/iPXE from u-boot to do a
whole lot of other options too.

what is the best solution between
using a pre-built image from fedora (it is really easy to dump the
image on a SD card and plug it into the ARM box :) )
using a kickstart process to setup it with all customizations you
want (but kickstart can be tricky to setup/tune at least a few years ago !)
By the way, is there documentation describing all stuffs need to
kickstart (u-boot for example) and how to setup everything
on an external flash drive ? (it is easy to move lvm from sd to ssd for
example)
