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.
