Hello,

At the beginning of the work, we've taken fuel-agent driver from Ironic
team and customized it.
Here is main features, which were created during development for Cray (all
of them are now part of bareon-ironic):

   1. deploy-config could be stored in multiple places (image meta,
   instance meta and node meta) and top-level attributes are being merged
   according to priorities in ironic.conf;
   2. default deploy-config support;
   3. support for both two-image (kernel+ramdisk) and three-image
   (kernel+ramdisk+squashfs) agents boot;
   4. rsync deployment support (insecure and secure);
   5. kernel parameters for tenant image and pxe boot could be appended
   with info from ironic.conf;
   6. pulling of agent log in case of unsuccessful deployment;
   7. on-fail script support (list of actions, which are being executed in
   case of unsuccessful deployment);
   8. actions support (set of actions being executed):
      1. actions at deployment time (after deployment);
      2. actions during node lifetime via vendor-passthru interface;
   9. compatibility check between agent version and driver version;
   10. deployment timeout mechanism;
   11. deployment termination mechanism (requires patches to nova and
   ironic);
   12. multi-boot feature (multiple OSes could be deployed to implement
   quick switch).

In case of any questions feel free to ask.

Best regards,
Oleksandr
