Riccardo Pittau d525f8a07f Making ironic-python-agent able to stop with python 3.x 
The agent stop function will write a byte string 'a' to the pipe
as a signal for the run function to end process.
The run function is expecting a literal string.
In python 2.x the byte string will automatically be converted to
literal, while python 3.x won't do the conversion, causing the
process to never stop.
This patch will fix that behavior, allowing the IPA to correctly
stop using python 3.x.

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.
