During the creation of a tempest test for the adoption feature, some minor issues were identified with the adoption functionality. Namely, the default logic was to create ramdisks, however that logic path is more intended for deployment ramdisks. Logic was switched to the instance preparation logic which is the default for nodes in active state, which is realistically exactly what is desired. Validation behavior ultimately remains unchanged and tests were added to validate that the expected methods are called. Additionally, it was identified that it would be ideal to encourage the user to set the node to local boot, and as such the documentation was updated as part of this change, coupled with a note mentioning changes in API version 1.20 that a user may wish to leverage.

Ironic
Ironic is an integrated OpenStack project which aims to provision bare metal machines instead of virtual machines, forked from the Nova Baremetal driver. It is best thought of as a bare metal hypervisor API and a set of plugins which interact with the bare metal hypervisors. By default, it will use PXE and IPMI together to provision and turn on/off machines, but Ironic also supports vendor-specific plugins which may implement additional functionality.
