Add cache configuration for ceilometer project
when using ceilometer+gnocchi, for every notification sample, ceilometer
will update the resource even if is not updated.
We should add [cache] section to make ceilometer cache the resource, and
stop send the useless update request.

With the following config we start with an IP assigned to the interface that we ask kolla-ansible to put the br-ironic bridge on (i.e. enp131s0f0). After the deployment is done, we need to manually more this IP to the br-ironic bridge and replace network_interface in kolla-ansible's config to point it to the br-ironic bridge. This is a workaround that allows to use the same interface for both PXE boot and neutron DHCP agent. Normally you should have these on separate interfaces.
Also, stop the ironic_dnsmasq container so you don't run into potential problems with 2 DHCPs on the same network.
TODO: Fix the above issue by using Ironic's DHCP instead of the Neutron's one.
Post deployment setup
For building baremetal images follow https://docs.openstack.org/ironic/rocky/install/configure-glance-images.html Here is an example of an Ubuntu image with a heat agent allowing to run script-based software deployments:
$ disk-image-create baremetal ubuntu dhcp-all-interfaces os-collect-config os-refresh-config os-apply-config heat-config heat-config-cfn-init heat-config-script -o ubuntu-software-config-ironic.qcow2
Add images to Glance:
$ openstack image create --container-format aki --disk-format aki --file ~/ubuntu-software-config-ironic.vmlinuz ubuntu-software-config-ironic_kernel $ openstack image create --container-format ari --disk-format ari --file ~/ubuntu-software-config-ironic.initrd ubuntu-software-config-ironic_initramfs $ openstack image create --public --container-format bare --disk-format qcow2 --file ~/ubuntu-software-config-dgx.qcow2 --property kernel_id=a8743614-38dc-43ed-8d3b-f4e1b4240eb0 --property ramdisk_id=1d370924-762b-49a0-8619-7f13aa8dafe1 ubuntu-software-config-dgx
In the last command kernel_id and ramdisk_id point to UUIDs of kernel and ramdisk images assigned them by Glance.
