Open Stack

Greetings everyone,

Now that the PTG is over, I would like to go ahead and get the
specification that was proposed to ironic-specs updated to represent
the discussions that took place at the PTG.

A few highlights from my recollection:

* Ironic being the source of truth for the hardware configuration for
the neutron agent to determine where to push configuration to. This
would include the address and credential information (certificates
right?).
* The information required is somehow sent to neutron (possibly as
part of the binding profile, which we could send at each time port
actions are requested by Ironic.)
* The Neutron agent running on the control plane connects outbound to
the smartnic, using information supplied to perform the appropriate
network configuration.
* In Ironic, this would likely be a new network_interface driver
module, with some additional methods that help facilitate the
work-flow logic changes needed in each deploy_interface driver module.
* Ironic would then be informed or gain awareness that the
configuration has been completed and that the deployment can proceed.
(A different spec has been proposed regarding this.)

I have submitted a forum session based upon this and the agreed upon
goal at the PTG was to have the ironic spec written up to describe the
required changes.

I guess the next question is, who wants to update the specification?
