Martin André 5f7bc48707 Reduce size of CoreOS ramdisk
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.

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.
