The RHEL Edge initiative is being developed to provide customers with an offering for Edge computing. As part of that, the greenboot package will be added to facilitate overall system health for ostree based images.
The greenboot package has been added to RHEL 8.3, but the work to land the support in Image Builder to include greenboot in the default Edge commits did not land in time for freeze.
We are conscious of the fact that this is very late in the cycle, but as Edge is a new feature, and that not having greenboot by default would subtract from that significantly, we would like to still get this in.
The feature is blocked on a systemd patch being backported, which is tracked in rhbz#1872243. The upstream implementation is complete and has been tested end-to-end on top of the backported systemd in https://github.com/osbuild/osbuild-composer/pull/893.

I've made a rhel-edge-commit image with osbuild-composer-20.1-1.el8.x86_64 and then installed it with anaconda+kickstart as shown here https://github.com/osbuild/osbuild-composer/pull/955.
I can see the following greenboot RPMs installed:
- greenboot-status
- greenboot
- greenboot-grub2
- greenboot-rpm-ostree-grub2
- greenboot-reboot
Moving to VERIFIED.
