The previous api/controllers/v1.py code was an early straw-man that directly represented db/sqlalchemy/models.py data structures as a proof-of-concept for the API service. This replaces that by using the versioned object models which were recently ported from Nova, wrapping them in an API class to allow for type checking and versioning. This patch also removes other methods which were part of that early proof-of-concept, and which will be implemented according to the v1 API spec in future patches. It also removes the unused api/models/__init__.py and db/models.py files. Partially implements bp:api-v1-impl Change-Id: I2580d863b383e12628821c9156195c00806beebd
Ironic
Ironic is an Incubated 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.
