I'm not sure what the exact requirements are for this, but there is a spec review under way for external attachment points into neutron networks. It covers integration with ironic as well as other baremetal devices.
https://review.openstack.org/#/c/87825/ -- Kevin Benton Ryota, Thanks for your invitation. Unfortunately I did not join the summit. Wish you had a good time and enjoy the summit ;). However I am really interested in your baremetal + SDN solution. Would you mind elaborate a bit more about the architecture and design of the solution?
