• It is now possible to do a PXE network boot with grub as an alternative to iPXE. Grub is loaded via the signed shim, so it may allow end-to-end automated deployments with secure-boot enabled.

  To use grub network boot, deploy bifrost with variable default_boot_interface set to pxe and use the pxe boot interface when deploying nodes.

• Ubuntu Jammy (22.04) is now supported as a base operating system.

Upgrade Notes

• Variable enable_uefi_ipxe has been removed, instead enabled_boot_interfaces is checked for containing ipxe.
