As part of the TC effort to raise visibility, we want to add a short high level document which attempts to detail the areas that could use additional focus where the project as a whole does not seemingly align with the rest of the OpenStack Cloud vision. Some aspects really don't apply, but these seem to be valid areas and it is important that we write these sorts of things down. Change-Id: I280c73b8cabcd214d791293d25aef57216464ec7
Ironic
Team and repository tags
Overview
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.
