Since third-party driver continuous integration testing is now required for ironic, we can include documentation for best practices for setting up a test environment. This patch is to get a basic outline and index done so that we can then build on it. Co-Authored-By: Mike Turek <mjturek@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Change-Id: I06415c3bd5cc9809d3ffda5b656e5948182349fb
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.
