CoreOS has announced the
release of its "Ignition" provisioning tool. "At the the most basic
level, Ignition is a tool for manipulating disks during early boot. This
includes partitioning disks, formatting partitions, writing files, and
configuring users.
" It runs as the first process — before systemd —

takes over.
