Add Ansible support for Ironic
Configuration based off upstream documentation here: http://docs.openstack.org/developer/ironic/deploy/install-guide.html A few notes: -ironic-api is not configured to use mod_wsgi -several places it's noted that discoverd is going away and needs to be replaced with ironic-inspector - (sqlite connection should be changed too) -currently enabling ironic reconfigures nova compute (driver and scheduler) as well as changes neutron network settings -a nice enhancement would be to configure the web console Required post-deployment configuration: Create the flat network to launch the instances: neutron net-create --tenant-id $TENANT_ID sharednet1 --shared \ --provider:network_type flat --provider:physical_network physnet1 neutron subnet-create sharednet1 $NETWORK_CIDR --name $SUBNET_NAME \ --ip-version=4 --gateway=$GATEWAY_IP --allocation-pool \ start=$START_IP,end=$END_IP --enable-dhcp And then the above ID is used to set cleaning_network_uuid in the neutron section of ironic.conf. Change-Id: I572e7ff1f23c4e57a2c50817cafe9269fd9950dd Implements: blueprint ironic-container

+Ironic in Kolla
+===============
+
+Overview
+--------
+Currently Kolla can deploy the Ironic services:
+
+- ironic-api
+- ironic-conductor
+- ironic-discoverd
+
+As well as a required PXE service, deployed as ironic-pxe.
+
+Current status
+--------------
+The Ironic implementation is "tech preview", so currently instances can only be
+deployed on baremetal. Further work will be done to allow scheduling for both
+virtualized and baremetal deployments. Most probably at that time discoverd
+will be replaced by ironic-inspector.
+
+Post-deployment configuration
+-----------------------------
+Configuration based off upstream documentation_.
+
+Again, remember that enabling Ironic reconfigures nova compute (driver and
+scheduler) as well as changes neutron network settings. Further neutron setup
+is required as outlined below.
+
+Create the flat network to launch the instances:
+::
+
+ neutron net-create --tenant-id $TENANT_ID sharednet1 --shared \
+ --provider:network_type flat --provider:physical_network physnet1
+
+ neutron subnet-create sharednet1 $NETWORK_CIDR --name $SUBNET_NAME \
+ --ip-version=4 --gateway=$GATEWAY_IP --allocation-pool \
+ start=$START_IP,end=$END_IP --enable-dhcp
+
+And then the above ID is used to set cleaning_network_uuid in the neutron
+section of ironic.conf.
