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 ==================================

See CoreOS Image builder <https://github.com/openstack/ironic-python-agent/tree/master/imagebuild/coreos>

Using IPA with devstack

This is covered in the Deploying Ironic with DevStack <http://docs.openstack.org/developer/ironic/dev/dev-quickstart.html#deploying-ironic-with-devstack> section of the Ironic dev-quickstart guide.
