summary

Bifrost installs a compact ironic stack via bifrost ansible playbooks and uses dnsmasq as DHCP/TFTP to boot remote PXE clients over a PXE over IPSec VPN hub‑and‑spoke link; images live in Cloud Files and the bifrost VM relays DHCP across the tunnel. Enrollment uses inventory files with OOB IPMI, MACs and image URLs. A typical HP Gen9 node downloads ramdisk then copies the image in about 3 minutes to download the ramdisk and 10 minutes total to become reachable, and the workflow works end to end.
