https://storyboard.openstack.org/#!/story/2008290 added support for NVMe-native storage cleaning, greatly improving storage clean times on NVMe-based nodes as well as reducing device wear. This is a follow up change which aims to make further improvements to cleaning efficiency in mixed NVMe-HDD environments. This is achieved by combining NVMe-native cleaning methods on NVMe devices with traditional metadata clean on non-NVMe devices.

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.
