Building or downloading a deploy ramdisk image
==============================================
Ironic depends on having an image with the
:ironic-python-agent-doc:`ironic-python-agent (IPA) <>`
service running on it for controlling and deploying bare metal nodes.
Two kinds of images are published on every commit from every branch of
:ironic-python-agent-doc:`ironic-python-agent (IPA) <>`
* DIB_ images are suitable for production usage and can be downloaded from
https://tarballs.openstack.org/ironic-python-agent/dib/files/.
* For Train and older use CentOS 7 images.
* For Ussuri and newer use CentOS 8 images.
.. warning:: CentOS 7 master images are no longer updated and must not be
used.
* TinyIPA_ images are suitable for CI and testing environments and can be
downloaded from
https://tarballs.openstack.org/ironic-python-agent/tinyipa/files/.
