There is no guarantee that /var is not on a separate filesystem. Also we should not pollute the root directory with our stuff. The TFTP directory /tftpboot is left where it is, since it needs to be accessed by dnsmasq. We may consider moving it later on. Removes the wildly outdated statement about purging the image cache from the documentation. Change-Id: Ib1e46e7a9c5eec193082858614026ca4c9f537ac
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.
The mission of bifrost is to provide an easy path to deploy ironic in a stand-alone fashion, in order to help facilitate the deployment of infrastucture, while also being a configurable project that can consume other OpenStack components to allow users to easily customize the environment to fit their needs, and drive forward the stand-alone perspective.
Use cases include:
- 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 the standalone mode.
