TeX packages are required to build PDF locally, following is recommended: * inkscape * texlive-latex-base * texlive-latex-extra * texlive-fonts-recommended More about the goal: https://governance.openstack.org/tc/goals/train/pdf-doc-generation.html https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/train-pdf-support-goal https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/pdf-goal-train-common-problems Change-Id: If5446ce4ceee7e38a0052503aa8fc2b6c5d7de66		2019-09-06 10:48:58 +08:00

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.
