Julia Kreger 9f8fa2853a Don't try to put a bootloader in place when bootable 
Lets not do silly things and if the disk looks bootable,
and we're not trying to do UEFI, then let us assume the
proper thing will occur upon power-up.

Looks at the boot sector data and if an executable is
found in the first 218 bytes, then it bypasses loading
a boot loader.

Also adds a dependency on the "file" linux distribution
package.

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.

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.
