Előd Illés b6d79c2af0 Add release note links for 2023.2 Bobcat (#3)
If any of your deliverables does not have a release note link added
already under deliverables/bobcat, then please check whether there is
an open patch on that repository with the topic "reno-2023.2" [1] still
waiting to be approved.

cycle-highlights:
- Ironic now has support for complex parent-child device topologies.
This feature, primarily targeted at orchestration of DPUs, allows
nodes to have parent/child relationships. This allows for more complex
logic to be coordinated between a node and its children. When a
node with children runs a step-based action, those steps can include
actions to be run on the child node. See `parent node documentation
<https://docs.openstack.org/ironic/latest/admin/cleaning.html#parent-nodes>`_
for more information.
- Ironic now has basic support for servicing nodes. Servicing allows
operators to use steps, like you would for cleaning, to perform
service on deployed nodes in ``ACTIVE`` state. Previously, Ironic
would not perform operations on active nodes. See `Node servicing
documentation <https://docs.openstack.org/ironic/latest/admin/servicing>`_
for more information.
- Ironic has promoted support for firmware upgrading and information
to a new interface and API named ``FirmwareInterface``. This includes
new API support, at ``/v1/nodes/{node_ident}/firmware`` for getting
firmware information. In addition, operators can use the csteps
provided by the new ``FirmwareInterface`` their firmware upgrade
process for step-based automations, such as deployment, cleaning,
or servicing. While the structure and API is in place for firmware
management, our first driver, for redfish hardware, is coming next
release.
- Additional steps for servicing, cleaning, and deployment have been
added. The first new step, ``wait``, waits for a specified amount
of time or until the next heartbeat. The second new step, ``hold``,
stops evaluation of steps until the ``unhold`` verb is submitted
to the provision state API for that node. When a node is held, it
will be parked a new "hold" provision_state, either ``clean hold``,
``deploy hold`` or ``service hold``. Additionally, Ironic has added
support for power control via steps named, ``power_on``, ``power_off``,
and ``reboot``; deployers who already have custom steps with these
names must rename them. These new steps are useful for integrating
with external systems that need to perform actions on a node or
for orchestrating complex workflows involving child nodes.
- Ironic conductor services now honor the value of ``[DEFAULT]/graceful_shutdown_timeout``,
waiting that number of seconds to complete operations before forcing
them to abort.
- Operators are now able to disable MD5 use to verify images in Ironic
by setting ``[agent]/allow_md5_checksum`` to false. This option
defaults to ``true`` to preserve existing behavior in this release;
but we expect to disable MD5 support by default in a future release.
