# Trident

**Trident** is a declarative, security-first OS lifecycle agent designed
primarily for [Azure
Linux](https://github.com/microsoft/azurelinux/?tab=readme-ov-file#azure-linux).
It supports clean installation and provisioning of bare-metal nodes, as well as
A/B-style updates and runtime configuration for both bare-metal and virtual
machines.

At the heart of Trident is its **Host Configuration API**, a declarative
YAML-based interface that defines the desired state of a machine across storage,
OS, networking, and firmware layers.

Trident supports a wide range of lifecycle and configuration capabilities:

- ✅ Disk partitioning and imaging  
- ✅ RAID configuration  
- ✅ Encrypted volumes with TPM/PCR support  
- ✅ dm-verity support  
- ✅ A/B update  
- ✅ Bootloader configuration  
- ✅ Networking configuration  
- ✅ User management  
- ✅ SELinux configuration  
- ✅ Custom hooks  
- ✅ ...and more
