As part of the TC effort to raise visibility, we want to add a short high level document which attempts to detail the areas that could use additional focus where the project as a whole does not seemingly align with the rest of the OpenStack Cloud vision. Some aspects really don't apply, but these seem to be valid areas and it is important that we write these sorts of things down. Change-Id: I280c73b8cabcd214d791293d25aef57216464ec7

Writing Drivers
|
|
---------------
|
|
|
|
Ironic's community includes many hardware vendors who contribute drivers that
|
|
enable more advanced functionality when Ironic is used in conjunction with that
|
|
hardware. To do this, the Ironic developer community is committed to
|
|
standardizing on a `Python Driver API <api/ironic.drivers.base.html>`_ that
|
|
meets the common needs of all hardware vendors, and evolving this API without
|
|
breaking backwards compatibility. However, it is sometimes necessary for driver
|
|
authors to implement functionality - and expose it through the REST API - that
|
|
can not be done through any existing API.
|
|
|
|
To facilitate that, we also provide the means for API calls to be "passed
|
|
through" ironic and directly to the driver. Some guidelines on how to implement
|
|
this are provided below. Driver authors are strongly encouraged to talk with
|
|
the developer community about any implementation using this functionality.

Testing Network Integration
|
|
---------------------------
|
|
|
|
In order to test the integration between the Bare Metal and Networking
|
|
services, support has been added to `devstack <https://docs.openstack.org/devstack/latest/>`_
|
|
to mimic an external physical switch. Here we include a recommended
|
|
configuration for devstack to bring up this environment.

Testing Boot-from-Volume
|
|
------------------------
|
|
|
|
Starting with the Pike release, it is also possible to use DevStack for testing
|
|
booting from Cinder volumes with VMs.
