In case of ports, it is also added to the API, as a readonly field. It will be used for any port-specific internal information ironic needs to store inside the port object. In this change we start using it to store UUIDs of the cleaning ports that ironic creates, instead of fiddling with port.extra['vif_port_id'], as extra is intended for operator use only.

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.
