David Shrewsbury 1141e7ad9c Update dev quickstart guide for ephemeral testing
Devstack now supports the IRONIC_VM_EPHEMERAL_DISK variable
which allows the user to specify the size of the ephemeral
disk partition. This change documents how to use this variable
to boot an instance with ephemeral storage.

Ironic

Ironic is an Incubated 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.
