With the iscsi deploy long gone, these modules are only used in IPA and in fact represent a large part of its critical logic. Having them separately sometimes makes fixing issues tricky if an interface of a function needs changing. This change imports the code mostly as it is, just removing run_as_root and a deprecated function, as well as moving configuration options to config.py. Also migrates one relevant function from ironic_lib.utils. Change-Id: If8fae8210d85c61abb85c388b300e40a75d0531c
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.
