This adds a section header so that a "Table of Contents" is displayed on the rendered page. This makes the page consistent with the rest of our developer documentation, since the others all have a Table Of Contents. I also added the word 'provisioning' to qualify what kind of states were being depicted here. (As opposed to power states.) Change-Id: If71679d9a5ee795c6c3a9d912f371ea04cea2753
Ironic
Ironic is an integrated OpenStack project which aims to provision bare metal machines instead of virtual machines, forked from the Nova Baremetal driver. It is best thought of as a bare metal hypervisor API and a set of plugins which interact with the bare metal hypervisors. By default, it will use PXE and IPMI in concert to provision and turn on/off machines, but Ironic also supports vendor-specific plugins which may implement additional functionality.
