We stop supporting tinyipa entirely and switch all jobs to use DIB-based (diskimage-builder) IPA images. Renamed all CI jobs as we use DIB-based IPA ramdisks only now. Increased test VM memory from 1024 MB to 4096 MB to accommodate larger DIB-based IPA ramdisks (~500 MB vs ~80 MB for tinyipa). Kept 3 jobs with their legacy name despite they use DIB-based IPA ramdisks now as other projects still use them.

Bifrost
Bifrost (pronounced bye-frost) is a set of Ansible playbooks that automates the task of deploying a base image onto a set of known hardware using ironic. It provides modular utility for one-off operating system deployment with as few operational requirements as reasonably possible.
The mission of bifrost is to provide an easy path to deploy ironic in a stand-alone fashion, in order to help facilitate the deployment of infrastructure, while also being a configurable project that can consume other OpenStack components to allow users to easily customize the environment to fit their needs, and drive forward the stand-alone perspective.
Use cases include:
- Installation of ironic in standalone/noauth mode without other OpenStack components.
- Deployment of an operating system to a known pool of hardware as a batch operation.
- Testing and development of ironic in the standalone mode.
