Some config option's help strings are updated based on the documentation/feedback in a previous patch that attempted to document the config options, but we decided that it would be better to update the help in the configs themselves: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/83577/ Change-Id: Ied2a4d69b735e919ab0597ac8d53df5dcd2a0ff6 Closes-Bug: 1324169
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.
