First, "Enabling Drivers" is a really confusing title, since this page links to complete driver documentation. It also links to IPA docs and the PXE driver interface. Next, our documentation is full of remarks about e.g. "pxe_* family of drivers", which are misleading in the presence of hardware types and the pxe_agent_cimc driver. We also have mentions of "iscsi deploy method" without detailed explanation of how this method relates to hardware types and classic drivers. This change consolidates drivers and interfaces documentation under the more clearly named root page. A new page is created with sections for both deploy interfaces to use for linking from wherever a link to a particular deploy interface is required.

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.
