This makes two changes to the Vagrant defaults for the developer VM: - Lowers VM memory from 2048 to 512, and pins the VM to 25% of one CPU core. This is helpful for low-power development environments (like laptops) and is sufficient for RabbitMQ and MySQL. - Changes the default set of hardware drivers to be a minimal set for developer environments that do not require the installation of any hardware-specific utilities or libraries. This list is: pxe_ssh, agent_ssh, fake Change-Id: Icb5e0e42a07386b93250f8fa461424b69c7cdee9
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.
