Alpine Linux

Part of the SSH-based OS identification family — see that page for the shared mechanism, credentials, and host key verification. Matches /etc/os-release’s ID field.

targets:
- id: alpine-host
product: alpine-linux
address: host.example.com
credentials: linux-host-ssh

Verified live against alpine:latest: ID=alpine (note: the bare ID field, not alpine-linux — the product: value adds -linux for clarity, the match itself is against the shorter vendor string), VERSION_ID=3.24.1.
