features:
- |
The ``enabled_hardware_types`` variable has been introduced to support
use of hardware types.
The ``default_deploy_interface`` variable has been introduced to support
setting a default method of deployment for new nodes. It defaults to the
``direct`` deployment interface.
deprecations:
- |
Ironic has deprecated support for classic drivers. These were the drivers
that were prepended with ``agent`` or ``pxe``. The new default hardware type,
which superceeds drivers, is ``ipmi``. The default deployment interface is
``direct``, which superceeds the ``agent`` driver type. Support for classic
Drivers, will be removed from Bifrost in the Rocky release cycle.
issues:
- |
Support for hardware types is in the beginning stages in Bifrost. Presently
the ``os_ironic`` ansible module does not yet understand hardware types.
