Configuraiton drives get stored in the instance_info field which is of a text type, which in theory is not a big deal, however large configuration drives are returned over the database client and when entire node objects are generated by the client, which has an obvious bandwidth and record transfer latency overhead.

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.
