Generally looks fine this feature would be a nice addition, I am a bit unclear on the config drive limitations as per my comment.

design/baremetal-operator/uefi-http-boot.md
this case between `redfish-virtualmedia` and `redfish-uefihttp` since they both
rely on network booting from an ISO image.
In general, the main difference is that the UEFI HTTP boot supports Secure
Boot, while virtual media does not, but on the other hand, no configuration

How come no configuration drive functionality? Is it not possible to boot IPA thus not possible to send over the config drive via IPA API? or what do you men by no configuration drive functionality? Could you please clarify this?

I don't think Riccardo meant that, but I agree, it is confusing.

yeah, sorry for the confusion, I had to unconfuse myself too here!
this is not related to IPA at all
what I meant is that no static configuration can be injected at boot time, DHCP is a hard requirement
does that help?
