Arun S A G 9d3de26fb1 Validate the kickstart template and file before use
The kickstart template is supplied by the user and it needs
to be validated to make sure it includes all the expected
variables and nothing else.

We validate the template by rendering it using expected
variables. If any of the expected variables are not present
in the template or unexpected variables are defined in the
template we raise InvalidKickstartTemplate exception

Once we render the template into kickstart file we
pass the file to 'ksvalidator' tool if it is present
on the system to validate the rendered kickstart file
for correctness.

'ksvalidator' tool comes from pykickstart libarary and
it is GPLv2 licensed. GPLv2 license is incompatible with
Openstack. So we do not explicitly include the library in
requirements.txt instead rely on it being pre-existing on
the conductor. If the 'ksvalidator' binary is not present
on the system, kickstart validation will be skipped

Overview

Ironic consists of an API and plug-ins for managing and provisioning physical machines in a security-aware and fault-tolerant manner. It can be used with nova as a hypervisor driver, or standalone service using bifrost. By default, it will use PXE and IPMI to interact with bare metal machines. Ironic also supports vendor-specific plug-ins which may implement additional functionality.

Ironic is distributed under the terms of the Apache License, Version 2.0. The full terms and conditions of this license are detailed in the LICENSE file.
