Ironic's State Machine
======================
State Machine Diagram
=====================
The diagram below shows the provisioning states that an Ironic node goes
through during the lifetime of a node. The diagram also depicts the events
that transition the node to different states.
Stable states are highlighted with a thicker border. All transitions from
stable states are initiated by API requests. There are a few other
API-initiated-transitions that are possible from non-stable states.
The events for these API-initiated transitions are indicated with '(via API)'.
Internally, the conductor initiates the other transitions (depicted in gray).
