When an underlying block device (or driver) only supports 4KB IO,
this can cause some issues with aspects like using an ISO9660 filesystem
which can only support a maximum of 2KB IO.
The agent will now attempt to mount the filesystem *before* deleting the
supplied file, and should that fail it will mount the configuration drive
file from the ramdisk utilizing a loopback, and then extract the contents
of the ramdisk into a newly created VFAT filesystem which supports 4KB
block IO.

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.
