The ironic project is engaged in a driver composition reform [0] which introduces dynamic drivers. That reform places hardware vendors in charge of defining a new form of drivers for their hardware. The new form is called 'hardware type'. The reform will deprecate [1] the existing ironic drivers, which are now referred to as 'classic drivers'. This change adds a single new 'hardware type', 'idrac', for servers controlled by Dell EMC integrated Dell Remote Access Controllers (iDRAC).

Ironic
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.
