Yosef Hoffman 13a8c6321e Add configuration options for DISK_WAIT
https://review.openstack.org/#/c/320295/ introduced two internal
variables: _DISK_WAIT_ATTEMPTS and _DISK_WAIT_DELAY. These values are
hardcoded. This patch adds configuration options for these so
that an operator can change them based on their own needs/fleet of
hardware.

ironic-python-agent

An agent for controlling and deploying Ironic controlled baremetal nodes.

The ironic-python-agent works with the agent driver in Ironic to provision the node. Starting with ironic-python-agent running on a ramdisk on the unprovisioned node, Ironic makes API calls to ironic-python-agent to provision the machine. This allows for greater control and flexibility of the entire deployment process.

The ironic-python-agent may also be used with the original Ironic pxe drivers as of the Kilo OpenStack release.

Building the IPA deployment ramdisk

For more information see the Image Builder section of the Ironic Python Agent developer guide.

Using IPA with devstack

This is covered in the Deploying Ironic with DevStack section of the Ironic dev-quickstart guide.
