Ironic and Edgy
summary
Ironic adds concrete edge features: an implementation plan for federated architecture (conductor groups, per-conductor DB and a federating proxy), active work to replace PXE with Redfish hardware management protocol and virtual-media / UEFI-HTTP boots, and a shift from memory-cached HTTP pulls to streaming images to disk plus BitTorrent seeding prototypes to cut central bandwidth. Redfish inspection support is merged in master but not yet released, and JSON-RPC/HTTP options aim to avoid stretching RabbitMQ over WAN.
