Deployment and Scheduling tool for Bare Metal
=============================================

Overview
--------

This is a simple tool to provision bare metal machines using `OpenStack Bare
Metal Service (ironic) <https://docs.openstack.org/ironic/latest/>`_,
`OpenStack Image Service (glance) <https://docs.openstack.org/glance/latest/>`_
and `OpenStack Networking Service (neutron)
<https://docs.openstack.org/neutron/latest/>`_.

Installation
------------

::

    pip install --user metalsmith

Usage
-----

Generic usage is as follows::

    metalsmith --os-cloud <CLOUD NAME> deploy --image <GLANCE IMAGE> \
        --network <NEUTRON NET> --ssh-public-key <PATH TO SSH PUBLIC KEY> \
        <RESOURCE CLASS>

This is an example suitable for TripleO (replace ``compute`` with the profile
you want to deploy)::

    source ~/stackrc
    metalsmith deploy --image overcloud-full --network ctlplane \
        --capability profile=compute --ssh-public-key ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub baremetal

To remove the deployed instance::

    metalsmith --os-cloud <CLOUD NAME> undeploy <NODE UUID>

For all possible options see the built-in help::

    metalsmith --help
