Hi Jay,

We did not need to make any changes to Ironic.

At the time we first got things working I don't think there was a 
published ARM64 image, but it would have been of great benefit as it was 
another component to bootstrap and have uncertainty about if we had done 
it properly.

I've uploaded the published experimental image to our environment and 
will have an opportunity to test that soon.

Jon.
