-Project Architecture
---------------------
-
-An Ironic deployment will be composed of the following components:
-
-- A **RESTful API** service, by which operators and other services may interact
-  with the managed bare metal servers.
-- A **Manager** service, which does the bulk of the work. Functionality is
-  exposed via the API service.  The Manager and API services communicate via
-  RPC.
-- One or more **Deployment Agents**, which provide local control over the
-  hardware which is not available remotely to the Manager.  A ramdisk should be
-  built which contains one of these agents, eg. with
-  https://github.com/stackforge/diskimage-builder, and this ramdisk can be
-  booted on-demand. The agent is never run inside a tenant instance.
-- A **Database** and a DB API for storing persistent state of the Manager and
-  Drivers.
-
-The internal driver API provides a consistent interface between the
-Manager service and the driver implementations. There are two types of drivers:
-
-- ControlDrivers manage the hardware, performing functions such as power
-  on/off, toggle boot device, etc.
-- DeployDrivers handle the task of booting a temporary ramdisk, formatting
-  drives, and putting a persistent image onto the hardware.
-- Driver implementations are loaded and instantiated via entrypoints when the
-  ManagerService starts. Each Node record stored in the database indicates
-  which drivers should manage it. When a task is started on that node,
-  information about the node and task is passed to the corresponding driver.
-  In this way, heterogeneous hardware deployments can be managed by a single
-  Manager service.
-
-In addition to the two types of drivers, there are three categories of driver
-functionality: core, common, and vendor:
-
-- "Core" functionality represents the minimal API for that driver type, eg.
-  power on/off for a ControlDriver.
-- "Common" functionality represents an extended but supported API, and any
-  driver which implements it must be consistent with all other driver
-  implementations of that functionality. For example, if a driver supports
-  enumerating PCI devices, it must return that list as well-structured JSON. In
-  this case, Ironic may validate the API input's structure, but will pass it
-  unaltered to the driver. This ensures compatibility for common features
-  across drivers.
-- "Vendor" functionality allows an excemption to the API contract when a vendor
-  wishes to expose unique functionality provided by their hardware and is
-  unable to do so within the core or common APIs. In this case, Ironic will
-  neither store nor introspect the messages passed between the API and the
-  driver.

------------
-
-Ironic source code should be pulled directly from git::
-
-  git clone https://github.com/openstack/ironic
-
-Setting up a local environment for development can be done with tox::
-
-    cd <your_src_dir>/ironic
-
-    # install prerequisites
-    * Ubuntu/Debian:
-    sudo apt-get install python-dev swig libssl-dev python-pip libmysqlclient-dev libxml2-dev libxslt-dev
-    * Fedora/RHEL:
-    sudo yum install python-devel swig openssl-devel python-pip mysql-libs libxml2-devel libxslt-devel
-
-    sudo easy_install nose
-    sudo pip install virtualenv setuptools-git flake8 tox
-
-    # create virtualenv
-    tox -evenv -- echo 'done'
