Ironic: A Modern Approach to Hardware Provisioning
Devananda van der Veen, HP Cloud
Ironic is a modern tool for hardware provisioning. Combining a RESTful API, scale-out control plane, and pluggable hardware drivers, Ironic installs operating systems efficiently and repeatably on diverse hardware.
With a vibrant community of developers, Ironic's support for the latest management technologies comes directly from hardware vendors. Meanwhile, the project ensures a consistent experience across all platforms.
Devananda will demonstrate how to install Ironic with Ansible, then build and deploy a machine image, while discussing the project's architecture, history, and current goals.
Attendees should be familiar with hardware provisioning standards like PXE and IPMI, but do not need deep knowledge.
