By disabling pip cache, we're able to reduce the size of generated docker image by 10%. The resulting ramdisk size goes from 229MB to 218MB. It is possible to decrease the size even further by combining all the RUN instructions into one but it doesn't provide a substantial gain and it harms readability.

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.
