<div>A is path of least resistance (in a container). I'd highly recommend doing this work in the upstream Bifrost community. C is obviously where we want to be long term, but lets see where we can get to from A. I'd be happy with A in general even if that
was the last step we made in the progress of Bifrost & containerization of ironic.</div>

<p class="MsoNormal"><b><i><span style="color:#1F497D">[Mooney, Sean K] yes this is correct, bifrost does provide both install playbooks for deploying ironic in standalone mode and a series of playbooks for dynamically enrolling node in ironic and dynamically

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma",sans-serif;color:black"><br>
<br>
The first use case seems like it should just be handled by enhancing kolla's ironic container stuff to directly to handle the use case, doing things the kolla way. This seems much cleaner to me. Doing it at runtime looses most of the benefits of doing it in
a container at all.</span><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma",sans-serif;color:#1F497D"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><i><span style="color:#1F497D">[Mooney, Sean K] I was not suggestiong doing the installation at runtime. Option 2 and 3 suggested spawning a container as part of the build in which the install playbook would be run.<o:p></o:p></span></i></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><i><span style="color:#1F497D">That container would then be stopped and exported to form the base image for the bifrost continer(s). The base image (bifrost-postinstall) would either be use to create a fat containter using an init
system such as supervisord to run each of the services<o:p></o:p></span></i></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><i><span style="color:#1F497D">or be used as the base image for a set of bifrost container each of which ran a single component.

The second adds a lot of value I think, and thats what the bifrost container should be?</span><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma",sans-serif;color:#1F497D"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
