The ironic configuration options for kilo are documented with the rest of the OpenStack configs at http://docs.openstack.org/kilo/config-reference/content/. This adds a 'Configuration Reference (Kilo)' entry to the index of our developer documentation with a link to the config-reference URL. The install guide also has a link to the config reference. It also removes 'Bare Metal Service' from two entries at http://docs.openstack.org/developer/ironic/, since it seems redundant. (Everything there is about Bare Metal Service!)

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.
