#+TITLE: OpenStack: BareMetal

Openstack has a collection of services named "ironic" that helps
manage baremetal servers. The architecture is broken down by levels of
abstraction. The highest abstraction is the API, which makes
controlling different hardware seem the same. Below the API is a basic
driver layer, which calls out to plugins to perform actions specific
to a vendor/hardware type.
