+== Dealing with hetrogenous hardware and Ignition
+
+If you have bare metal servers with different types and/or number of hard drives, today you must create a separate customized Ignition config for each machine (or machine class).
+A good model is to have the common parts of the configuration factored out into a separate Ignition configuration which can be included (via HTTP or inline) in the per-machine-type custom config.
