Key features:

  • New NetworkingService configuration on Ironic CRD
  • Separate Deployment for ironic-networking with JSON-RPC on port 6190
  • External networking service endpoint configuration support
  • Provider network configuration for inspection/cleaning VLANs
  • Pod auto-restart on TLS certificate changes
  • ClusterIP Service for Ironic-to-Networking communication
  • Switch config secret lifecycle (create-if-not-exists, delete)

Hi @alegacy. Thanks for your PR.

I'm waiting for a metal3-io member to verify that this patch is reasonable to test. If it is, they should reply with /ok-to-test on its own line. Until that is done, I will not automatically test new commits in this PR, but the usual testing commands by org members will still work. Regular contributors should join the org to skip this step.

Once the patch is verified, the new status will be reflected by the ok-to-test label.

I understand the commands that are listed here.

Created this as a draft because it has a dependency on the ironic-image PR: metal3-io/ironic-image#931

...functional tests (e2e) will failed until the ironic-image PR is merged!
