The iptables and lshw utilities are both required for IPA: iptables is used when collecting system logs and lshw is used to get the total physical memory and system details. However, they were not installed in the docker image embedded in CoreOS IPA images. Since the docker image is used as a chroot to run IPA, it cannot access binaries available outside in the main CoreOS file system.

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

Using IPA with devstack
This is covered in the Deploying Ironic with DevStack section of the Ironic dev-quickstart guide.
