Welcome to the OpenStack wiki

The OpenStack Mission is to produce a ubiquitous Open Source Cloud Computing platform that is easy to use, simple to implement, interoperable between deployments, works well at all scales, and meets the needs of users and operators of both public and private clouds.

OpenStack is open source, openly designed, openly developed by an open community.

The OpenStack wiki is a collaboration tool for the community to publish various documents in a collaborative manner. Content may be out of date or inaccurate. Please refer primarily to other OpenStack websites for reference information (see below).

-== Requirements ==
+==== Links ====
- [[FunctionalUseCases|Use Cases]] - These describe the high-level functional requirements, subsequently decomposed into detailed component requirements. Each requirement begins as a simple function (e.g., Add new server). These are then decomposed via data flow diagrams to show the data and processing requirements placed upon each component in order to support the basic function. These should follow the template in [[SpecTemplate]].

+* [https://releases.openstack.org/ OpenStack releases]
- [[Architectural]] - These describe the interface requirements for each component, starting at the external API and working inward.
+* [https://git.openstack.org/cgit Source code]
+* [https://docs.openstack.org/ Documentation]
- [[NonFunctional]] - These describe the basic, non-functional requirements which are priorities for the architecture (e.g., scalability, easy of use). Each basic requirement is then decomposed into detailed requirements via specification of the manner of testing to be used to measure compliance to that requirement (e.g., specific load tests, length of install, etc.)
