Overview
========
2014-06-25 09:04:26 +01:00
2015-03-25 16:41:57 -07:00
An agent for controlling and deploying Ironic controlled baremetal nodes.
2015-09-30 23:48:46 +00:00
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.
