Somewhat common are dual boot images that have both a MBR loader
and the contents required for a UEFI boot, as largely the pointer
to where to begin reading the rest of the boot loader occurs in
the first few hundred bytes on disk which redirects the disk to
begin reading from a known address.
This goes sideways on UEFI machines where this method of booting
is not recognized nor supported. Thus we need to return false when
we encounter this state.

Ironic Python Agent
Team and repository tags
Overview
An agent for controlling and deploying Ironic controlled baremetal nodes.
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.
Building the IPA deployment ramdisk
For more information see the Image Builder section of the Ironic Python Agent developer guide.
Using IPA with devstack
This is covered in the Deploying Ironic with DevStack section of the Ironic dev-quickstart guide.
