Welcome to Ironic's developer documentation!
|
|
============================================

|
Introduction
|
|
============
|
|
|
|
Ironic is an OpenStack project which provisions bare metal (as opposed to
|
|
virtual) machines by leveraging common technologies such as PXE boot and IPMI
|
|
to cover a wide range of hardware, while supporting pluggable drivers to allow
|
|
vendor-specific functionality to be added.
|
|
|
|
If one thinks of traditional hypervisor functionality (eg, creating a VM,
|
|
enumerating virtual devices, managing the power state, loading an OS onto the
|
|
VM, and so on), then Ironic may be thought of as a *hypervisor API* gluing
|
|
together multiple drivers, each of which implement some portion of that
|
|
functionality with respect to physical hardware.
|
|
|
|
The developer documentation provided here is continually kept up-to-date based
|
|
on the latest code, and may not represent the state of the project at any
|
|
specific prior release.
