OpenStack Bare Metal Provisioning Program
OpenStack bare metal provisioning a.k.a Ironic is an integrated OpenStack program 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.
