Welcome to UnderStack

• What is UnderStack?

  UnderStack is an opinionated deployment
  of OpenStack focused on bare metal provisioning
  through Ironic and its related services.
  This allows for efficiently and consistently managed hardware deployed via API-driven
  workflows across multiple data centers at scale.

  Core requirements include a pool of bare metal systems which can be controlled by
  Ironic as well as switches that can be programmed by a
  Neutron ML2 driver
  and infrastructure nodes which can host a Kubernetes cluster for the necessary
  services. In our development environment we use Dell servers and Cisco Nexus switches.
