A recent ?Linked-In? or ?Reddit? thread I saw bemoned Ironic's documentation as stale. This perception largely seems to be due to backwards looking notes in the text. For example, it doesn't make sense for current docs to talk about Juno, Kilo, or upgrade to Queens. And so, after getting some context loaded into Claude, I was able to ask it to cleanup the docs for versions older than 2023.1. Mostly, it looks like just cleaning up some sentences of our prior context so it seems more up to date.

Ironic
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.
