Doc Text:
Feature: Communication between the baremetal-operator, ironic, and ironic-inspector is now authenticated. Reason: Previously, any container in the cluster (including user workloads) could trivially make calls to the Ironic APIs to determine information about and take action on the hardware underlying the cluster. Result: Only the authorised services can use the non-public parts of the Ironic API. Access directly to Ironic for debugging purposes now requires the credentials, which are stored in a Secret in the cluster.
