The files in tools/vnc-container allow a container image to be built which supports Ironic's graphical console functionality. For each node with an enabled graphical console, the service ironic-novncproxy (or nova-novncproxy) will connect to a VNC server exposed by a container running this image. If the devstack ir-novnc serivce is enabled then this container image will be built locally and ironic configured to used it for the systemd console container provider. This makes a devstack environment functional in accessing graphical consoles for Dell, HPE and Supermicro. Related-Bug: 2086715 Change-Id: I0842570cca22ac0e67d358c30225e8e08561f459

Overview
Ironic consists of an API and plug-ins for managing and provisioning physical machines in a security-aware and fault-tolerant manner. It can be used with nova as a hypervisor driver, or standalone service using bifrost. By default, it will use PXE and IPMI to interact with bare metal machines. Ironic also supports vendor-specific plug-ins which may implement additional functionality.
