Ironic now uses a formal model for the logical state of each node it manages (New Ironic State Machine). This has enabled the addition of two new processes: cleaning and inspection.
Automatic disk erasure between tenants is now enabled by default. This may be extended to perform additional cleaning steps, such as re-applying firmware, resetting BIOS settings, etc (Node Cleaning).
Both in-band and out-of-band methods are available to inspect hardware. These methods may be used to update Node properties automatically (Hardware Inspection).
