> Ironic's responsibility ends where the host OS begins. Ironic is a bare metal provisioning service, not a configuration management service. 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..)
