Install and configure the Bare Metal service¶
This section describes how to install and configure the Bare Metal service, code-named ironic, manually from packages on one of the three popular families of Linux distributions.
Alternatively, you can use one of the numerous projects that install ironic. One of them is provided by the bare metal team:
Bifrost installs ironic in the standalone mode (without the rest of OpenStack).
More installation projects are developed by other OpenStack teams:
Kolla can install ironic in containers as part of OpenStack.
OpenStack-Ansible has a role to install ironic.
TripleO uses ironic for provisioning bare metal nodes and can also be used to install ironic.
