Flake8 has support for McCabe cyclomatic complexity. Ironic's most complex code is at 16 right now, so cap this at 17 to make sure we don't start writing more complex code than what we already have today. Nova is doing similar: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/129125 Change-Id: I99fa26f763ab456d3428951d6a729098a73cf9ef
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.
