John L. Villalovos e3ec870ec3 Use the 'ironic' queue for the gate
When doing the 'gate' build have the ironic-python-agent jobs be part
of the 'ironic' queue. More information on this is in [1]. The benefit
of this is that we are only impacted by ironic projects if we do this.

From [1]:
Pipelines which use the dependent pipeline manager maintain separate
queues for groups of projects. When Zuul serializes a set of changes
which represent future potential project states, it must know about
all of the projects within Zuul which may have an effect on the
outcome of the jobs it runs. If project A uses project B as a library,
then Zuul must be told about that relationship so that it knows to
serialize changes to A and B together, so that it does not merge a
change to B while it is testing a change to A.

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.

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.
