Centos Stream and ultimately RHEL have switched to asynchronous device initialization, which impacts root device hints and their usability on those systems, in large part because context which people have traditionally had, no longer holds true on those newer kernels. This doc update attempts to provide the needful context to guide operators to the best possible outcome given the distribution changes. Change-Id: I541086cfe235b10f1f1dba95fad95022a22f9ce7

Team and repository tags
Overview
Ironic consists of an API and plug-ins for managing and provisioning physical machines in a security-aware and fault-tolerant manner. It can be used with nova as a hypervisor driver, or standalone service using bifrost. By default, it will use PXE and IPMI to interact with bare metal machines. Ironic also supports vendor-specific plug-ins which may implement additional functionality.
