The index.html page of our developer web docs should now reference the auto-generated API documentation, and we can remove the out-of-date hand-written api-spec-v1.rst. It served us well early on, but is impractical to keep up to date with a fast-moving project. Change-Id: Ie71f43ef363501d4c470485a011267755f41c5b3
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.
