During the rocky PTG, we discussed the vision for ironic. We learned to use the same words. We reached the same page. As a result, the week felt very productive. And so, we should actually write some of this down. Accordingly the patch proposes a draft vision, as well as sets the context of the discussions in an attept to have a point or document that we can refer back to at a later point in time. The contents are based off of the Rocky ironic PTG vision etherpad[1]. [1]: https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/ironic-rocky-ptg-vision Change-Id: Ie7208cc5aeade96409b658041b9edb4976512ad7

Ironic
Ironic consists of an API and plug-ins for managing and provisioning physical machines in a security-aware and fault-tolerant manner. It can be used with nova as a hypervisor driver, or standalone service using bifrost. By default, it will use PXE and IPMI to interact with bare metal machines. Ironic also supports vendor-specific plug-ins which may implement additional functionality.
