ironic-lib is being retired; this change imports any used code from ironic-lib and updates references. This contains some changes to how we throw exceptions; aligning ironic-lib code with IPA practice to have all exceptions be a RESTError. This also allows us to remove code around serializing ironic-lib exceptions. Change-Id: I137340ce6820c68d8e0f1a32668151bba7b1ddd7
Ironic Python Agent
Team and repository tags
Overview
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 section of the Ironic Python Agent developer guide.
Using IPA with devstack
This is covered in the Deploying Ironic with DevStack section of the Ironic dev-quickstart guide.
