Note that this value is most probably overridden by BMO, changing which will be much trickier (need to detect availability)

I have a recorded demo of autodetect->bootc working with this change and upstream BMO. I don't see anywhere in BMO which sets deploy_interface=direct explicitly.

I do see some special handling which switches deploy_interface to ramdisk or custom-agent on a per node basis. It looks like the ramdisk path could be reworked at any time to defer to autodetect if that is the existing deploy interface.

default_inspect_interface = agent
default_network_interface = noop
enabled_bios_interfaces = no-bios,redfish,idrac-redfish
enabled_boot_interfaces = ipxe,pxe,fake,redfish-virtual-media,idrac-redfish-virtual-media,redfish-https
enabled_deploy_interfaces = direct,fake,ramdisk,custom-agent,bootc
enabled_deploy_interfaces = autodetect,direct,fake,ramdisk,custom-agent,bootc
autodetect_deploy_interfaces = ramdisk,bootc,direct
enabled_firmware_interfaces = no-firmware,fake,redfish
# NOTE(dtantsur): when changing this, make sure to update the driver
# dependencies in Dockerfile.
