Welcome to Ironic's documentation!
|
|
==================================
|
|
|
|
Introduction
|
|
============
|
|
|
|
Ironic is an OpenStack project which provisions bare metal (as opposed to
|
|
virtual) machines. It may be used independently or as part of an OpenStack
|
|
Cloud, and integrates with the OpenStack Identity (keystone), Compute (nova),
|
|
Network (neutron), Image (glance), and Object (swift) services.
|
|
|
|
The Bare Metal service manages hardware through both common (eg. PXE and IPMI)
|
|
and vendor-specific remote management protocols. It provides the cloud operator
|
|
with a unified interface to a heterogeneous fleet of servers while also
|
|
providing the Compute service with an interface that allows physical servers to
|
|
be managed as though they were virtual machines.
|
|
|
|
This documentation is continually updated and may not represent the state of
|
|
the project at any specific prior release. To access documentation for a
|
|
previous release of ironic, append the OpenStack release name to the URL; for
|
|
example, the ``ocata`` release is available at
|
|
https://docs.openstack.org/ironic/ocata/.
