Deploys metal-core in a systemd-managed Docker container.
This role can deploy on switches running Cumulus Linux or SONiC. It depends on the switch_facts module from ansible-common, so make sure modules from ansible-common are included before executing this role.
This role uses variables from partition-defaults. So, make sure you define them adequately as well.
