Ironic
======
Ironic is an integrated OpenStack project which aims to provision bare
metal machines instead of virtual machines, forked from the Nova Baremetal
driver. It is best thought of as a bare metal hypervisor **API** and a set
of plugins which interact with the bare metal hypervisors. By default, it
will use PXE and IPMI together to provision and turn on/off machines,
but Ironic also supports vendor-specific plugins which may implement
additional functionality.
Ironic consists of an API and plug-ins for managing and provisioning
physical machines in a security-aware and fault-tolerant manner. It can be
used with nova as a hypervisor driver, or standalone service using bifrost.
By default, it will use PXE and IPMI to interact with bare metal machines.
Ironic also supports vendor-specific plug-ins which may implement additional
functionality.
