This Attune Project contains the Blueprints to setup a worker for the automate OS installation projects.
What is a worker?
The majority of the workload creating the ISO file(s) for the is performed on either the Attune host machine or a separate machine.
The workload covers tasks such as unpacking ISO and repackaging with the drivers and configurations. This machine is referred too as the worker.
