As an operator I want to be able to persist raw and processed introspection data so that I am able to view it at a later date. As an operator I want to be able to persist raw and processed introspection data so that I am able to reprocess the data after the initial inspection process has completed. In the absence of swift, we can use the bifrost nginx web server - masquerading as an object store - to store raw and processed introspection data for nodes. This allows introspection data to be retrieved and reprocessed after the initial inspection has completed. This can be useful when the processing pipeline or introspection rules are changed.

Bifrost
Bifrost (pronounced bye-frost) is a set of Ansible playbooks that automates the task of deploying a base image onto a set of known hardware using ironic. It provides modular utility for one-off operating system deployment with as few operational requirements as reasonably possible.
Team and repository tags:
Use Cases
- Installation of ironic in standalone/noauth mode without other OpenStack components.
- Deployment of an operating system to a known pool of hardware as a batch operation.
- Testing and development of ironic in a standalone use case.
Documentation
Bifrost's documentation can be found at the OpenStack documentation site.
