primarily for developers.

Writing Drivers
|
|
---------------
|
|
|
|
Ironic's community includes many hardware vendors who contribute drivers that
|
|
enable more advanced functionality when Ironic is used in conjunction with that
|
|
hardware. To do this, the Ironic developer community is committed to
|
|
standardizing on a `Python Driver API <api/ironic.drivers.base.html>`_ that
|
|
meets the common needs of all hardware vendors, and evolving this API without
|
|
breaking backwards compatibility. However, it is sometimes necessary for driver
|
|
authors to implement functionality - and expose it through the REST API - that
|
|
can not be done through any existing API.
|
|
|
|
To facilitate that, we also provide the means for API calls to be "passed
|
|
through" ironic and directly to the driver. Some guidelines on how to implement
|
|
this are provided below. Driver authors are strongly encouraged to talk with
|
|
the developer community about any implementation using this functionality.

Testing Network Integration
|
|
---------------------------
|
|
|
|
In order to test the integration between the Bare Metal and Networking
|
|
services, support has been added to `devstack <https://docs.openstack.org/devstack/latest/>`_
|
|
to mimic an external physical switch. Here we include a recommended
|
|
configuration for devstack to bring up this environment.

Testing Boot-from-Volume
|
|
------------------------
|
|
|
|
Starting with the Pike release, it is also possible to use DevStack for testing
|
|
booting from Cinder volumes with VMs.

Understanding the Ironic's CI
|
|
-----------------------------
|
|
|
|
It's important to understand the role of each job in the CI, how to add new jobs
|
|
and how to debug failures that may arise. To facilitate that, we have created
|
|
the documentation below.
