Mario Villaplana 4a7b954d14 Adds more functional tests for commands
This adds additional functional tests for the commands API.
It also restructures the current functional test to run in
sequence as a monolithic test to preserve IPA state and test
order between test runs. The time to wait for IPA to start
was increased due to an intermittent race condition that
occurs with the larger test suite.

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.
