[Airship-discuss] update in configuration of bootstrap module in airshipctl

This is the same circumstance as the manifest section; details in the "bootstrapInfo" section must be modified in the configuration file. The command-line arguments will allow you to change which "bootstrapInfo" options are used for a particular context, but they do not provide a means for changing the ISO URL, user-data, or network data that cloudinit consumes.

We always encourage filing issues [0] for these enhancements so they can be evaluated by the team at our weekly flightplan call [1] :)

Best regards,
Drew Walters

Subject: [Airship-discuss] update in configuration of bootstrap module in airshipctl 

Hello,

What is the format of the command to update the configuration bootstrap module in airshipctl?
Use cases: 
(1) user/operator wants to update user-data or network data for cloudinit. 
(2) user / operator wants to update the url for iso for the consumption of "remotedirect".


"airshipctl confit init" generates below configuration for bootstrap module.
modules-config:
  bootstrapInfo:
    default:
      builder:
        networkConfigFileName: network-config
        outputMetadataFileName: output-metadata.yaml
        userDataFileName: user-data
      container:
        containerRuntime: docker
        image: quay.io/airshipit/isogen:latest
        volume: /srv/iso:/config
      remoteDirect:
        isoUrl: http://localhost:8099/debian-custom.iso
        remoteType: redfish

However it is not very obvious from help, how configuration for bootstrap module can be updated.
