OpenStack Content Sharing

Requirements

• ""Repositories"":
  • Non-proprietary OpenStack content resides in OpenStack repository. Consumable by OpenStack and non-OpenStack consumers
  • Proprietary content resides in non-OpenStack repositories. Consumable by non-OpenStack consumers only
• ""Processing details"":
  1. OpenStack source updated with substitution variables.
  2. Consumers include OpenStack source files in their books.
  3. When consumers generate output, they enter values for substitution variables. Ex: productname="Rackspace Cloud Servers"

Risks

• OpenStack source updates break non-OpenStack books that include that content.

Implementation

• Determine which substitution variables are required. Product name? Endpoints? Version number?
• Update OpenStack source with substitution variables and publish these for public consumption.
• Update non-OpenStack book files to include OpenStack source.
