Ironic is an OpenStack project which provisions bare metal (as opposed to
|
|
|
|
virtual) machines by leveraging common technologies such as PXE boot and IPMI
|
|
|
|
to cover a wide range of hardware, while supporting pluggable drivers to allow
|
|
|
|
vendor-specific functionality to be added.

If one thinks of traditional hypervisor functionality (eg, creating a VM,
|
|
|
|
enumerating virtual devices, managing the power state, loading an OS onto the
|
2013-05-30 23:35:07 +00:00
|
|
|
VM, and so on), then Ironic may be thought of as a *hypervisor API* gluing
|
2013-05-26 01:26:02 +00:00
|
|
|
together multiple drivers, each of which implement some portion of that
|
|
|
|
functionality with respect to physical hardware.
