==========
Bare Metal
==========
The Bare Metal service provides physical hardware management features.
Introduction
~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Bare Metal service provides physical hardware as opposed to
virtual machines and provides several reference drivers which
leverage common technologies like PXE and IPMI, to cover a wide range
of hardware. The pluggable driver architecture also allows
vendor-specific drivers to be added for improved performance or
functionality not provided by reference drivers. The Bare Metal
service makes physical servers as easy to provision as virtual
machines in a cloud, which in turn will open up new avenues for
enterprises and service providers.
System architecture
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Bare Metal module is composed of the following components:
#. A RESTful API service
#. A conductor service
#. Various drivers that support heterogeneous hardware
#. A message queue
#. A database for storing information about the resources
.. TODO Add the detail about each component.
Bare Metal deployment
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
#. PXE deploy process
#. Agent deploy process
.. TODO Add the detail about the process of Bare Metal deployment.
