John L. Villalovos 1ffaaf6abf Add support for proxy servers during image build
When building the docker image, the 'apt-get' and 'pip install' that are
run inside the docker image will fail in a an environment that uses
proxy servers.

Support environments with proxy servers by dynamically propagating
'http_proxy', 'https_proxy', and 'no_proxy' into the docker environment
when running 'apt-get' and 'pip install'

This can not be done with either --env-file or --env as those are
arguments to 'docker run'. The command being run here is 'docker build'

Once Docker 1.9 is widely deployed, we should switch to using the 'ARG'
command which was added in Docker 1.9. Currently Ubuntu 14.04 uses
Docker 1.6.  Using the ARG command will be a much cleaner solution.

ironic-python-agent

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

See CoreOS Image builder.

Using IPA with devstack

This is covered in the Deploying Ironic with DevStack section of the Ironic dev-quickstart guide.
