ironic-python-agent
===================
An agent for controlling and deploying Ironic controlled baremetal nodes.
The ironic-python-agent works with the agent driver in Ironic to provision
the node. Starting with ironic-python-agent running on a ramdisk on the
unprovisioned node, Ironic makes API calls to ironic-python-agent to provision
the machine. This allows for greater control and flexibility of the entire
deployment process.
The ironic-python-agent may also be used with the original Ironic pxe drivers
as of the Kilo OpenStack release.
Building the IPA deployment ramdisk
===================================
For more information see the `Image Builder <https://docs.openstack.org/ironic-python-agent/latest/install/index.html#image-builders>`_ section of the Ironic Python Agent
developer guide.
Using IPA with devstack
=======================
This is covered in the `Deploying Ironic with DevStack <https://docs.openstack.org/ironic/latest/contributor/dev-quickstart.html#deploying-ironic-with-devstack>`_
section of the Ironic dev-quickstart guide.
