Ironic ====== Ironic is an Incubated OpenStack project which aims to provision bare metal machines instead of virtual machines, forked from the Nova Baremetal driver. It is best thought of as a bare metal hypervisor **API** and a set of plugins which interact with the bare metal hypervisors. By default, it will use PXE and IPMI in concert to provision and turn on/off machines, but Ironic also supports vendor-specific plugins which may implement additional functionality. ----------------- Project Resources ----------------- Project status, bugs, and blueprints are tracked on Launchpad: http://launchpad.net/ironic Developer documentation can be found here: http://docs.openstack.org/developer/ironic Additional resources are linked from the project wiki page: https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Ironic Anyone wishing to contribute to an OpenStack project should find plenty of helpful resources here: https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/HowToContribute All OpenStack projects use Gerrit for code reviews.
