+IPA Flags
+=========
+
+You can pass a variety of flags to IPA on start up to change its behavior.
+If you're using the CoreOS image, you can modify the
+ironic-python-agent.service unit in cloud-config.yaml [5]_.
+
+* --standalone: This disables the initial lookup and heartbeats to Ironic.
+  Lookup sends some information to Ironic in order to determine Ironic's node
+  UUID for the node. Heartbeat sends a periodic pings to Ironic to tell Ironic
+  the node is still running. These heartbeats also trigger parts of the deploy
+  and cleaning cycles. This flag is useful for debugging IPA without an Ironic
+  installation.
+
+* --debug: Enables debug logging.
