This patch replaces python standard base64 library call to oslo_serialization.base64 to follow OpenStack Python3 porting standard [1]. Use base64 encoding takes 8-bit binary byte data and encodes it. On Python3, A string is a sequence of Unicode characters thus base64 has no idea what to do with Unicode data, it's not 8-bit[2]. We use oslo_serialization.base64 for both python2 and python3.

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
For more information see the Image Builder section of the Ironic Python Agent developer guide.
Using IPA with devstack
This is covered in the Deploying Ironic with DevStack section of the Ironic dev-quickstart guide.
