      Section number and name: new section

      Describe the issue: RHEL System Roles newly support managing immutable (ostree) systems. We must document how users can do this.

      I'm not sure what this should be called in our official docs set. I think "ostree" might not be suitable because it is the name of the upstream technology, and it is one of potentially several backends for our immutable OSes. We have also used the name "RHEL For Edge" in the past, but it isn't just for Edge computing.

      There is a blog post on this topic, it can be used as a reference:
