OpenStack 2026.1 Gazpacho: Ironic Deep Dive
The OpenStack Live session introduced the 2026.1 "Gazpacho" release of Ironic, the bare‑metal provisioning service. Host Jay Faulkner outlined how Ironic integrates with Nova to turn physical servers into cloud instances, emphasizing the dual control paths of out‑of‑band BMC interfaces and the in‑band Ironic Python agent. Key technical highlights include the introduction of a bare‑metal L2VNI Neutron mechanism plugin that bridges VXLAN and Geneve networks to physical switches using hierarchical port binding. The plugin extends the generic‑switch driver to configure VXLAN VNIs on Arista EOS, Cisco NX‑OS, Juniper Junos, Cumulus, and Sonic devices, while preserving a 4,096‑network limit per physical port. A complementary feature, trait‑based networking, allows operators to define ordered sequences of actions—such as attaching ports, creating dynamic port groups, and applying filter expressions—to fine‑tune how Ironic maps server NICs to switch ports. The system can automatically generate and delete dynamic port groups based on custom criteria, improving flexibility for complex data‑center topologies. These enhancements collectively push Ironic toward a true "bare‑metal cloud" experience, simplifying large‑scale deployments, reducing manual switch configuration, and aligning OpenStack networking with modern overlay technologies. Operators can now provision, manage, and retire physical workloads with the same agility traditionally reserved for virtual machines.
