We appear to be bumping up against this limit when deploying RHCOS images(currently 977MB). Curiously the problem isn't happening all the time but increasing the limit eliminates it. This limit was intruduced to guard against a malicious image allocating an arbitrary amount of memory. Nothing else runs on hosts when IPA is running so we should be ok bumping up the limit.

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.

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