OS upgrades are atomic. If running using Slot A, the upgrade will install the new OS and Kernel into Slot B and switch the default boot order in grub.cfg residing in the EFI partition.

|
|
## First boot
|
|
Instance meta-data on bare-metal is stored next to EFI bootloader in partition one as yaml.
|
|
|
|
During first boot of Slot A or B, tiny-cloud will use the NoCloud meta-data yaml to bootstrap the instance.
