Anaconda nowadays supports installing bootc-compatible container images with the ostreecontainer keyword. In the future, it may directly use bootc instead to carry out the installation (see rhinstaller/anaconda#5197).

Currently, there is work underway to have osbuild-based tooling to generate Anaconda ISOs with the bootable container embedded which will carry out the installation: osbuild/bootc-image-builder#58.

On the CoreOS side, we notably decided very early on to provide a disk image-based flow in the bare metal case so that it closely resembles the cloud case.

With other bootable container variants likely eventually supporting an Anaconda flow, we should consider whether this is something we also want to support in CoreOS.
