<font size=3>> Ironic's responsibility ends where the host OS begins.
Ironic is a bare metal provisioning service, not a configuration management
service.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">I agree with the above, but just to
clarify I would say that Ironic shouldn't *interact* with the host
OS once it booted. Obviously it can still perform BM tasks underneath the
OS (while it's up and running) if needed (e.g., force shutdown through
IPMI, etc..)</font>
