This patch is reducing the size of the ramdisk image generated by the ironic-agent element. It does remove extra packages (graphical stuff, dev stuff, miscs, docs, etc...) and purges directories that are not needed for a ramdisk (like /boot since it boots using an external kernel) Currently it was tested generating a Fedora 22 image and reduced the size of the final image from 464 MB to 211MB compacted (54% decrease). I was able to boot a VM with 1.3 GiB of ram instead of the previous 3 GiB needed. Change-Id: Id6333ca5d99716ccad75ea1964896acf371fa72a

Builds a ramdisk with ironic-python-agent. More information can be found at:
|
|
https://git.openstack.org/cgit/openstack/ironic-python-agent/
|
|
|
|
Beyond installing the ironic-python-agent, this element does the following:
|
|
|
|
* Installs the ``dhcp-all-interfaces`` so the node, upon booting, attempts to
|
|
obtain an IP address on all available network interfaces.
|
|
* Disables the ``iptables`` service on SysV and systemd based systems.
|
|
* Disables the ``ufw`` service on Upstart based systems.
|
|
* Installs packages required for the operation of the ironic-python-agent::
|
|
``qemu-utils`` ``parted`` ``hdparm`` ``util-linux`` ``genisoimage``
|
|
* When installing from source, ``python-dev`` and ``gcc`` are also installed
|
|
in order to support source based installation of ironic-python-agent and its
|
|
dependencies.
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
Using the ramdisk will require at least 1.5GB of ram
