Vladyslav Drok 7bda3408f5 Fix config drive writing script
When the deployment happens on a GPT disk with config drive, writing
it to disk fails. Three reasons for that:

* parted should be used instead of partprobe to determine the type of
  the disk;
* gdisk -l sorts the partitions by their number, sort them by start
  sector instead;
* after sgdisk completion, the configdrive device is not immediately
  visible in the /dev folder, udevadm settle needed here too.

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.
