This is the second patch in a chain of refactoring patches in preparation for moving to Futurist library. See blueprint futurist for details. This patch moves common conductor initialization and lifetime code, and some common conductor methods to a separate class BaseConductorManager. I expect most of the work in blueprint futurist to touch this class. Implements: blueprint futurist Change-Id: If4f018d6e0473e62134a0427a0ad0ea733c10ea4
Ironic
Ironic is an integrated 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 together to provision and turn on/off machines, but Ironic also supports vendor-specific plugins which may implement additional functionality.
