A new entry point ``ironic.console.container`` is added to determine how console containers are orchestrated when ``ironic.conf`` ``[vnc]enabled=True``. By default the ``fake`` provider is specified by ``[vnc]container_provider`` which performs no orchestration. The only functional implementation included is ``systemd`` which manages containers as Systemd Quadlet containers. These containers run as user services and rootless podman containers. Having ``podman`` installed is also a dependency for this provider. See ``ironic.conf`` ``[vnc]`` options to see how this provider can be configured. The ``systemd`` provider is opinionated and will not be appropriate for some Ironic deployment methods, especially those which run Ironic inside containers. External implementations of ``ironic.console.container`` are encouraged to integrate with other deployment / management methods.

Overview
Ironic consists of an API and plug-ins for managing and provisioning physical machines in a security-aware and fault-tolerant manner. It can be used with nova as a hypervisor driver, or standalone service using bifrost. By default, it will use PXE and IPMI to interact with bare metal machines. Ironic also supports vendor-specific plug-ins which may implement additional functionality.
