Adds a pxe deploy driver to support the concept of a deployment just consisting of a ramdisk. Ideally, as long as a kernel and ramdisk are defined, either by the operator or via a glance image, the PXE/iPXE template should point the booted kernel to using ramdisk as the root. In theory, this would allow deployment via nova, or directly using the parameters posted to the node's instance_info. There may be additional features realistically needed for this to be beyond minimally useful, but that would also depend on the contents of the ramdisk that is deployed by an API user.

features:
|
|
- |
|
|
Adds a ``ramdisk`` deploy interface for deployments that wish to network
|
|
boot to a ramdisk, as opposed to perform a complete
|
|
traditional deployment to a physical media. This may be useful in
|
|
scientific use cases or where ephemeral baremetal machines are desired.
|
|
|
|
The ``ramdisk`` deploy interface is intended for advanced users and has
|
|
some particular operational caveats that the users should be aware of
|
|
prior to use, such as network access list requirements and configuration
|
|
drive architectural restrictions and the inability to leverage
|
|
configuration drives.
