The record

Purpose: OSDCloud deploys Windows 11 over the internet without local deployment infrastructure.
Deployment environment: It runs in WinPE using the OSDCloud or OSD PowerShell modules.
Supported Windows: The site lists Windows 11 versions 23H2–25H2 for amd64 and arm64.
Device support: The FAQ says any UEFI device compatible with Windows should work with OSDCloud.
Image source: Windows images are downloaded from Microsoft at deployment time.
Drivers and firmware: Drivers and firmware can come from Microsoft Update Catalog, while driver packs are downloaded from Dell, HP, Lenovo, and Microsoft Surface.
Autopilot readiness: After deployment, local PowerShell modules are updated so the device can be used in OOBE.
Integrations: The FAQ describes preparing devices for Windows Autopilot and replacing deployment tools such as MDT or ConfigMgr.
Azure support: OSDCloud includes a WinPE function that authenticates to Azure using device code flow.
Provisioning: Provisioning packages can be included on ISO media or USB and applied to the offline operating system during deployment.
Requirements: OSDCloud requires a WinPE boot image, appropriate hardware drivers, internet access, PowerShell, and the OSDCloud or OSD modules.
Security and access: For WIM files stored in Azure, the documentation specifies private storage containers and the Storage Blob Data Reader role for access.
Notable limitation: The FAQ identifies internet access as a requirement because Windows images and OEM driver packs are downloaded during deployment.
