OpenStack Ironic and the MLH Fellowship with CID
T
1:47So maybe explain the problem space that Ironic was created to solve or some of the things that it can solve now for folks.
1:57
So I ironic, um, with, uh, generally there is, um, a cloud, which everybody's familiar with.
2:05
And, uh, a lot of people do not have to worry about under the hood what happens because at the end of the day, a cloud is also a physical server, but it's just abstracted away in such a way that you do not have to worry about all of that.
2:21
And OpenStack Ironic is that service within the OpenStack ecosystem.
2:28
So OpenStack is a suite of services that when deployed together, gives you access to a cloud.
2:35
So, and Ironic is that service that it uses to provision bare metal machines.
2:41
And bare metal machines are physical servers without an operating system.
