OpenStack Bare Metal Provisioning Program

OpenStack Bare Metal Provisioning a.k.a Ironic is an integrated OpenStack project which aims to provision bare metal machines instead of virtual machines, forked from the Nova Baremetal driver. It is best thought of as a bare metal hypervisor API and a set of plugins which interact with the bare metal hypervisors. By default, it will use PXE and IPMI in concert to provision and turn on/off machines, but Ironic also supports vendor-specific plugins which may implement additional functionality. For a general overview please see: Introduction to Ironic

Status

Ironic was first available as an Incubated project in the "Icehouse" release. The following "Juno" release saw improved integration with Nova, as well as many stability and feature improvements. Ironic completed the project graduation review at the end of the "Juno" cycle, and began "Kilo" development cycle as an officially Integrated OpenStack project.


Information on the latest status of Ironic's test suite can be found here: https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Ironic/Testing

For a list of current drivers and the status of their CI testing, see the wiki page we maintain and the Stackalytics page which tracks third-party CI

Etherpads

Our project teams frequently share ideas and coordinate by using etherpads, some of which stick around for a while. Those are listed here.

IRC

Discussion of the project also takes place in #openstack-ironic on irc.freenode.net. This is a great place to jump in and start you Ironic Adventure.

Developers

Guidelines for developers can be found here: https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Ironic/Developer_guidelines Please note that for any non-trivial change that does not fix some bug, you have to go through specs review process

Pixie Boots, the Ironic drummer bear

Pixie Boots is the mascot of the "Bear Metal" Provisioning Program for OpenStack, a.k.a Ironic. It was drawn by Lucas Alvares Gomes and two versions of it are available: One colored and one outlined. Feel free to use the images to make t-shirts or any other paraphernalia.
