@ -64,12 +64,13 @@ There are three categories of driver interfaces:
Ironic's API. If a driver implements this interface, it must adhere to the
standard. This is presented to encourage vendors to work together with the
Ironic project and implement common features in a consistent way, thus
reducing the burden on consumers of the API.
The Standard interfaces are `management` and `console`.
reducing the burden on consumers of the API. The Standard interfaces are
`management`, `console`, `boot`, `inspect`, and `raid`.
- The `Vendor` interface allows an exemption to the API contract when a vendor
wishes to expose unique functionality provided by their hardware and is
unable to do so within the `core` or `standard` interfaces. In this case, Ironic
will merely relay the message from the API service to the appropriate driver.
