We're currently requiring it twice: in image_info and in a separate configdrive argument. I think we should eventually settle on separate arguments for separate entities, so this change makes the value in image_info optional with a goal to stop accepting it. We could probably just remove the handling in image_info, but a deprecation is safer. The (unused in ironic) cache_image call is updated with an optional configdrive arguments.

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.
