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.
