Julia Kreger b6c263a5dc preserve/handle config drives on 4k block devices 
When an underlying block device (or driver) only supports 4KB IO,
this can cause some issues with aspects like using an ISO9660 filesystem
which can only support a maximum of 2KB IO.

The agent will now attempt to mount the filesystem *before* deleting the
supplied file, and should that fail it will mount the configuration drive
file from the ramdisk utilizing a loopback, and then extract the contents
of the ramdisk into a newly created VFAT filesystem which supports 4KB
block IO.

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.
