What about swarm mode and orchestration? Also I presume like LinuxKit, there will be configs for different clouds e.g. Digital Ocean and AWS run ISOs slightly differently.

Yes, one use-case is making it easier to setup/teardown clusters for local testing. Two practical scenarios for us: 1) autograding ansible/configuration scripts, 2) CI for instructions/tutorials that involve clusters/devops: https://builds.sr.ht/~ottomatica/job/69644#task-report

Cloud-ready images is an important direction, and on the horizon.
