Initial code patches for service steps have merged in ironic, and it is now time to add support into the agent which allows service steps to be raised to the service. Updates the default hardware manager version to 1.2, which has *rarely* been incremented due to oversight. Change-Id: Iabd2c6c551389ec3c24e94b71245b1250345f7a7
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.
