    necessary deploy steps to provision an image are provided in the agent
    ramdisk. The default ``write_image`` deploy step is not present.

    A new class ``ironic.drivers.modules.agent.CustomAgentDeploy`` can be used

Deploy interface that fully relies on custom deploy steps This change adds a new deploy-interface custom-agent that is essentially the direct deploy without the write_image step and without bootloader handling. It's targeted at deployments that need to write the image differently, while keeping all other aspects the same. The existing AgentDeploy becomes a subclass of the new CustomAgentDeploy class, serving as a convenient base class for downstream deploy interfaces that use IPA.
