Dmitry Tantsur 6829d34c15 Bind to interface routable to the ironic host, not a random one 
Binding to the first interface that has an IP address is error-prone: there is
no guarantee that ironic can reach us via this inteface. It is much safer to
detect the interface facing ironic and bind to it.

Unused LookupAgentInterfaceError exception is deleted.

The TinyIPA build also requires iptables dependency at build time to insert the
required kernel modules.

README.rst

ironic-python-agent

An agent for controlling and deploying Ironic controlled baremetal nodes.

The ironic-python-agent works with the agent driver in Ironic to provision the node. Starting with ironic-python-agent running on a ramdisk on the unprovisioned node, Ironic makes API calls to ironic-python-agent to provision the machine. This allows for greater control and flexibility of the entire deployment process.

The ironic-python-agent may also be used with the original Ironic pxe drivers as of the Kilo OpenStack release.

Building the IPA deployment ramdisk

For more information see the Image Builder section of the Ironic Python Agent developer guide.

Using IPA with devstack

This is covered in the Deploying Ironic with DevStack section of the Ironic dev-quickstart guide.
