Add power state change callbacks of an instance to nova by performing API requests. Whenever there is a change in the power state of a physical instance (example a "power on" or "power off" IPMI command is issued or the periodic ``_sync_power_states`` task detects a change in power state) ironic will create and send a ``power-update`` external event to nova using which nova will update the power state of the instance in its database. By conveying the power state changes to nova, ironic becomes the source of truth thus preventing nova from forcing wrong power states on the instance during the nova-ironic periodic sync. It also adds the possibility of bringing up/down a physical instance through the ironic API even if it was put down/up through the nova API. Note that ironic only sends requests to nova if the target power state is either "power on" or "power off". Other error states will be ignored. In cases where the power state change is originally coming from nova, the event will still be created and sent to nova and on the nova side it will be a no-op with a debug log saying the node is already powering on/off. NOTE: Although an exclusive lock (task_manager.upgrade_lock() method) is used when calling the nova API to send events, there can still be a race condition if the nova-ironic power sync happens to happen a nano-second before the power state change event is received from ironic in which case the nova state will be forced on the node.

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.
Ironic is distributed under the terms of the Apache License, Version 2.0. The full terms and conditions of this license are detailed in the LICENSE file.
