Cloud would be significantly more consequential. The defaults *really matter* here in
particular, even more than Workstation. But, I think because CoreOS does exist, this

CoreOS AMI, OpenStack qcow2 etc. and provide an Ignition config that changes it:
No need for "ignition". This has worked since grub and anaconda were
created by using '%pre' scripts in anaconda to pre-partition the
file-system and potentially insert other pre-configuration steps in
it. If ignition has new integration features rather than the manual
scripting I used to do, great. But ignition is not required for this.
Fedora Cloud does not use Anaconda for provisioning, so that whole
strategy does not work.
