Binding to the first interface that has an IP address is error-prone: there is no guarantee that ironic can reach us via this inteface. It is much safer to detect the interface facing ironic and bind to it. Unused LookupAgentInterfaceError exception is deleted. The TinyIPA build also requires iptables dependency at build time to insert the required kernel modules. Closes-Bug: #1558956 Change-Id: I9586805e6c7f52a50834bc03efeb72d1faa6cb65
ironic-python-agent
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.

Using IPA with devstack
This is covered in the Deploying Ironic with DevStack section of the Ironic dev-quickstart guide.
