<br>
We did not need to make any changes to Ironic.<br>
<br>
At the time we first got things working I don't think there was a <br>
published ARM64 image, but it would have been of great benefit as it was <br>
another component to bootstrap and have uncertainty about if we had done <br>
it properly.<br>
<br>
I've uploaded the published experimental image to our environment and <br>
will have an opportunity to test that soon.<br>
