I have one complaint about Ignition: its builtin file download functionality is too limited:
- there is a limited amount of retries (5?), so a network hiccup can easily cause the download to fail
- no control over which responses are fatal, so if you boot a VM with a config that references a URL that's still 404 due to async nature of something, then only a single attempt is made.
The company I work for uses Flatcar exclusively, but we don't use config chaining due to these limitations, and we have moved all file downloads to the shell scripts embedded into the config.
