features: - | Ironic now supports automatically setting node.lessee at deployment time using metadata provided at deploy time, typically by OpenStack Nova. When ``[conductor]/automatic_lessee_source`` is set to ``instance``, Ironic will set the lessee field on the node and remove it before cleaning. upgrade: - | ``[conductor]/automatic_lessee`` has been deprecated in favor of ``[conductor]/automatic_lessee_source``. Standalone Ironic deployments previously setting ``automatic_lessee`` to ``True`` now may want to set ``automatic_lessee_source`` to ``request`` to retain existing behavior. Deployers explicitly setting ``automatic_lessee`` to false may want to set ``automatic_lessee_source`` to ``none`` to retain existing behavior. The old configuration option, when explicitly set, will be honored until fully removed. - | Ironic will now automatically set the node.lessee field for all deployments by default when provided in node instance_info at deployment time. Deployers are encouraged to review their security settings and Ironic Secure RBAC documentation to ensure no unexpected access is granted.
