Please review + the upgrade section which describes the required actions to upgrade your + ironic installation from 6.2.2 (Newton) to 7.0.0 (Ocata). + + A few major changes are worth mentioning. This is not an + exhaustive list: + + - "Port group" support allows users to take advantage of bonded + network interfaces. + - State change and CRUD notifications can now be emitted. + - Soft power off, soft reboot, and sending non-maskable interrupts (NMI) + are now supported in the REST API. + - The AMT, iBoot, msftocs, seamicro, VirtualBox, and Wake-On-Lan drivers + have been removed from ironic. Please see the upgrade notes for + additional details and options. + - "Dynamic drivers" is a revamp of how drivers are composed. Rather than a + huge matrix of hardware drivers supporting different things, now users + select a "hardware type" for a machine, and can independently change the + deploy method, console manager, RAID management, power control interface, + etc. This is experimental, as not all "classic" drivers have a dynamic + equivalent yet, but we encourage users to try this feature out and + submit feedback.
