Ironic bare metal deployments   an architecture tour
Channel: OpenInfra Foundation
Date: 2023-06-29

As a mature and popular project, there are many ways to deploy and manage an Ironic bare metal deployment. The use cases for managing bare metal are diverse, and this is reflected in the opinionated architectures of different Ironic deployment tooling.

This presentation will take a tour of Ironic deployment tools, describing the architectures they enable, and exploring the use cases which led to those architectures. It will also describe the architecture of very large bespoke deployments such as at CERN, which will help reveal scalability considerations.

End users are no longer exclusively consuming Ironic through the Nova API. It is becoming common to interact directly with the Ironic API or even through the Kubernetes API (Metal3). These different interfaces will be compared for their end user experience.
