+# A basic configuration to test azure-init
+#
+# Currently, this only works when used from an Azure VM since it relies on the
+# Azure-provided IMDS and Wireserver instances. In the future we can provide stubs
+# so it's easy to test locally or in GitHub actions. We can also add configurations
+# for additional distributions.
+#
+# To use this:
+#	- Install mkosi
+#	- Run `mkosi -d fedora` or `mkosi -d debian`
+#	- Run `sudo mkosi -d fedora boot`
+#
+# The repository is available under /work
