this patch pulls the ansible deploy interface code and related ansible playbooks and auxiliary files from ironic-staging-drivers project into main ironic tree. As discussed in the spec, the use of ramdisk callbacks (lookup and hearbeats) is now mandatory with this deploy interface. Playbooks and modules were updated to require Ansible>=2.4, and custom Ansible module for executing 'parted' was replaced with usage of built-in Ansible module. The custom Ansible callback plugin now uses journald logger by default to adapt to the default DevStack setup. Documentation and devstack plugin changes enabling automated testing of this interface will be proposed in followup patches. Change-Id: I43f54688287953ccb1c2836437aea76236e6560b Related-Bug: #1526308

Ironic
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.
