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 warning:: CentOS 7 master images are no longer updated and must not be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.
|
|
|
|
.. warning:: The published images will not work for dhcp-less deployments
|
|
since the simple-init_ element is not present. Check the DIB_
|
|
documentation to see how to build the image.
|
|
|
|
* TinyIPA_ images are suitable for CI and testing environments and can be
|
|
downloaded from
|
|
https://tarballs.openstack.org/ironic-python-agent/tinyipa/files/.
