This adds a pip install command to tox.ini that is only used when the tox env is passed with the 'constraints' factor appended onto it. As such this will not effect developer workflows or current unit tests. The initial use of this will be in a non-voting job, to verify that the constrained checks with tox are stable. DevStack is already running constrained jobs, as such problems are not expected. To run a tox with pip using constraints on a developer system a developer should run the desired tox environment with -constraints. For example: $(tox -epy27-constraints) Pip will pull the current version of the upper-constraints.txt file down from the git.openstack.org, however this method can be overriden to use a local file setting the environment variable "UPPER_CONSTRAINTS_FILE" to the local path or a different URL, it is passed directly to pip. This is currently not enabled in the default tox run, however it is possible to enable it as a default by adding it to 'envlist' in tox.ini Backport of Nova commit ad38ce1fc98692ee59ef061de1a35f355d219aa1 Change-Id: Ia3cfb30fd1d8529bb4fbcf8873036149ea6f483c Implements Blueprint: Requirements-Management
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.
