For overcloud commands involving Bifrost (e.g. overcloud provision), we use the Bifrost dynamic inventory. This runs bifrost_inventory.py which gathers node and port information for all bare metal hosts. Because this gets executed for each node in our inventory, it produces a large number of API requests to Ironic, which grows as the number of hosts increases. Halve the number of calls using the BIFROST_NODE_NAMES environment variable, which restricts fetching port information to just the node being queried. bifrost_inventory.py still performs one call for each node, which must be fixed separately in Bifrost [1]. Time to query overcloud nodes' hardware introspection data for 44 hosts: * before patch: 823 seconds * after patch: 415 seconds With the patch to Bifrost [1], this is further reduced to 46 seconds.
