I took a quick look and felt like it wasn't clearly demonstrating current state, so decided to revise the text. It should be more clear now as to the state of reality. Change-Id: I1b3c808f6d75e1e7fa532d18df82418a4747071a Signed-off-by: Julia Kreger <juliaashleykreger@gmail.com>

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.
|
|
|
|
By default, it will use PXE and IPMI/Redfish to interact with bare metal
|
|
machines. Some drivers, like the Redfish drivers, also support advanced
|
|
features like leveraging HTTPBoot or Virtual Media based boot operations
|
|
depending on the configuration by the user. Ironic also supports
|
|
vendor-specific plug-ins which may implement additional functionality,
|
|
however many vendors have chosen to focus on their Redfish implementations
|
|
instead of customized drivers.
|
|
|
|
Numerous ways exist to leverage Ironic to deploy a bare metal node, above
|
|
and beyond asking Nova for a "bare metal" instance, or for asking Ironic
|
|
to manually deploy a specific machine. Bifrost and Metal3 are related
|
|
projects which seek to simplify the use and interaction of Ironic.
