Heartbeat connection errors are often a sign of a transitory network failures which may resolve themselves. But an operator looking at the screen doesn't necessarilly know that. They don't understand that there could have been a network failure, or a misconfiguration that caused the connectivity failure and soft of kind of default to "well it failed" without further clarification. As such, this patch adds explicit catching of the requests ConnectionError exception and rasies a new internal error with a more verbose error message in that event to provide operators with additional clarity.

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.
