- Launchpad Entry: Design for OpenStack Cloud Administration Guide
- Created: Nicholas Chase
- Updated: Nermina Miller
- Advisor: Anne Gentle
Summary
This blueprint describes a plan to create documentation for OpenStack cloud administrators. These are tasks that go beyond the everyday actions an OpenStack user would take, but don't get into the depths of the OpenStack Operations Manual.
This documentation organizes the existing administration documentation into conceptional categories rather than chronological activities. It is meant to be comprehensive, but to be built out of content that has been drawn from other manuals. The reason for this is that while this guide is meant to be comprehensive, users should still be able to create documentation in smaller chunks to avoid being overwhelmed. (This process is covered by a separate blueprint.)
This blueprint is related to Blueprint Restructure Documentation.
Blueprint--OpenStack Cloud Administration Guide
Audience: Administrators and operators who maintain OpenStack clouds.
Product info: Havana, 2013.1
Include common glossary? Yes
Purpose:
- Provide information about managing and troubleshooting various parts of a cloud system
- Link to appropriate parts in other guides for additional information
- Consolidate the material left over from appropriation to config, install, and user guides
