 Ignition is currently only supported for the following platforms:
 
+* [Akamai Connected Cloud] (`akamai`) - Ignition will read its configuration from the instance userdata. Cloud SSH keys and network configuration are handled separately.
 * [Alibaba Cloud] (`aliyun`) - Ignition will read its configuration from the instance userdata. Cloud SSH keys are handled separately.
 * [Apple Hypervisor] (`applehv`) - Ignition will read its configuration using an HTTP GET over a vsock connection with its host on port 1024.
 * [Amazon Web Services] (`aws`) - Ignition will read its configuration from the instance userdata. Cloud SSH keys are handled separately.

 For most cloud providers, cloud SSH keys and custom network configuration are handled by [Afterburn].
