In this session, I will show you how to use Agama, the new next-generation installer, to perform effortless advanced unattended installations on openSUSE Linux. Whether you are installing just a few desktops or a fleet of servers, Agama makes the process fast, smooth, and hassle-free. This modern installer is poised to transform not only openSUSE installations but also deployments across other Linux distributions.
While older tools like AutoYAST work well, they are not always easy or user-friendly for unattended advanced Linux installations. Agama solves this with a simple yet modern web interface that makes unattended installations easy and possible for everyone.
I will demonstrate how to use Agama’s latest features, including how to set up and initiate remote connections using IP addressing or Multicast DNS for a fully unattended OpenSUSE installation. You will also learn about Agama’s main key features such as its simple JSON-based configuration language to create auto installation profiles, an HTTP API for integrating with third-party application tools, and how to import your existing AutoYAST profiles.
Join this session to see how Agama can save you a lot of time and effort by making your OpenSUSE Linux deployments easier and more powerful than ever before.
