prelude: |
The Bare Metal as a Service team joyfully announces our OpenStack Stein
release of ironic 12.1.0. While no steins nor speakers were harmed during
the development of this release, we might have suffered some hearing
damage after we learned that we could increase the volume well
past eleven!
Notable items include:
* Increased parallelism of power synchronization to improve overall
conductor efficiency.
* API fields to support node ``description`` and ``owner`` values.
* HPE iLO ``ilo5`` and Huawei ``ibmc`` hardware types.
* Allocations API interface to enable operators to find and select
bare metal nodes for deployment.
* JSON-RPC can now be used for ``ironic-api`` to ``ironic-conductor``
communication as opposed to using an AMQP messaging provider.
* Support for customizable PXE templates and streamlined deployment
sequences.
* Initial support for the definition of "deployment templates" to
enable operators to define and match customized deployment sequences.
* Initial work for supporting SmartNIC configuration is included,
however the Networking Service changes required are not anticipated
until sometime during the Train development cycle.
* And numerous bug fixes, including ones for IPv6 and IPMI.
This release includes the changes in ironic's ``12.0.0`` release which
was also released during the Stein development cycle and includes a number
of improvements for Bare Metal infrastructure operators. More about our
earlier stein release can be found in our
`release notes <https://docs.openstack.org/releasenotes/ironic/stein.html#relnotes-12-0-0>`_.
