Thanks, it's reassuring that Ironic support is there and it works well. Could you or anyone else in the community point me to some link where I can understand the benefit of using Kayobe over Kolla-Ansible. I came across this link ( https://www.slideshare.net/MarkGoddard2/to-kayobe-or-not-to-kayobe), but slides are not available at it.

Hi All,
Hi Amit,
We are exploring Kolla-Ansible for our multinode production grade deployment. In our setup, some workloads will also run on bare-metal, so Ironic is the key requirement.
We came across the following text on the Kolla-Ansible documentation page for Rocky release. "Ironic works well in Kolla, though it is not currently tested as part of Kolla CI, so may be subject to instability."
Our query is that is deployment of Ironic using Kolla-Ansible production grade for the latest OpenStack release?
That sentence might sound harsh, it has actually been rephrased to: "Ironic works well in Kolla, though it is not thoroughly tested as part of Kolla CI, so may be subject to instability." in some later release.
The thing about "thoroughness" is that we don't have actual baremetal nodes in the CI (perhaps we should just mention that explicitly) and thus we are testing a more limited scenario - but still on a regular basis. That said, Ironic is used by members of the Kolla Ansible core team and it works well in the wild (at least with IPMI). We also fully support it.
