Deliverables

Ironic-Python-Agent

The Ironic-Python-Agent project is a good candidate as a pilot for a migration. It uses and relies on eventlet heavily, but has limited inter-openstack dependencies and co-installed dependencies. In general, the Ironic community is onboard to having IPA be a pilot project for this if it's useful (realistically; it may be too simple -- IPA may be an easy enough case just to completely rip eventlet out of without a migration).
