When you build an ISO disk image from an operating system image by using the bootc-image-builder tool, the image is similar to the Red Hat Enterprise Linux ISO images available for download. However, the ISO disk image embeds your operating system image content.

To install the ISO disk image to a bare metal system without having access to the network, see Deploying a custom ISO container image.

For information about installing the ISO through the network, see Deploying an ISO bootc image over PXE boot.

After you install a factory image to a physical device, you can use the optional first-boot onboarding wizard to provide onsite network and enrollment configuration before the device joins Red Hat Edge Manager. See Device onboarding at first boot in the Additional resources section.
