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.
