In order to create a virtualenv with tox, a postgresql package is needed as a prerequisite. The dev-quickstart documentation has been updated to reflect this. In addition, the prerequisites for Fedora/RHEL were modified, because mysql-devel is needed, not mysql-libs. Fixes bug: #1227390 Change-Id: Ibfdb0a9a3d560fcc3fb7d95aaa1d765ed18215e2
Ironic
Ironic is an Incubated 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 in concert to provision and turn on/off machines, but Ironic also supports vendor-specific plugins which may implement additional functionality.
