Bifrost (pronounced bye-frost) is a set of Ansible playbooks that
automates the task of deploying a base image onto a set of known hardware using
ironic_. It provides modular utility for one-off operating system deployment
with as few operational requirements as reasonably possible.

The mission of bifrost is to provide an easy path to deploy ironic in
a stand-alone fashion, in order to help facilitate the deployment of
infrastructure, while also being a configurable project that can consume
other OpenStack components to allow users to easily customize the
environment to fit their needs, and drive forward the stand-alone
perspective.

Use cases include:

* Installation of ironic in standalone/noauth mode without other OpenStack
  components.
* Deployment of an operating system to a known pool of hardware as
  a batch operation.
* Testing and development of ironic in the standalone mode.
