Versioned notifications are functionally tested against stored sample data. Also most of the instance notitication shares payload structure. Today we store a separate sample for every instance notification. These samples store similar, mostly redundant data. When a new field is added to the InstancePayload then every instance notification related sample file needs to be modified. This leads to big and redundant changes like I18af99479562e2fe5e74e6e1252b804b074fee58. To remove the redundancy this patch proposes to use json references in the sample files instead of copy pasting the same notification sample fragment to every sample. As a first step this patch introduces a small json ref resolver. Then subsequent patches will replace the duplicated sample data with references to common sample fragments. This proposed resolver supports resolving the refs recursively so a referenced json fragment can reference further fragments. However the current implementation does not handle reference loops. The resolver also supports overriding parts of the referenced json fragment to support content customization needed in the next patch. Change-Id: Ic3ab7d60e4ac12b767fe70bef97b327545a86e74

OpenStack Nova
==============
OpenStack Nova provides a cloud computing fabric controller, supporting a wide
variety of compute technologies, including: libvirt (KVM, Xen, LXC and more),
Hyper-V, VMware, XenServer, OpenStack Ironic and PowerVM.
Use the following resources to learn more.
API
---
To learn how to use Nova's API, consult the documentation available online at:
- `Compute API Guide <https://developer.openstack.org/api-guide/compute/>`__
- `Compute API Reference <https://developer.openstack.org/api-ref/compute/>`__
For more information on OpenStack APIs, SDKs and CLIs in general, refer to:
- `OpenStack for App Developers <https://www.openstack.org/appdev/>`__
- `Development resources for OpenStack clouds
<https://developer.openstack.org/>`__
Operators
---------
To learn how to deploy and configure OpenStack Nova, consult the documentation
available online at:
- `OpenStack Nova <https://docs.openstack.org/nova/>`__
In the unfortunate event that bugs are discovered, they should be reported to
the appropriate bug tracker. If you obtained the software from a 3rd party
operating system vendor, it is often wise to use their own bug tracker for
reporting problems. In all other cases use the master OpenStack bug tracker,
available at:
- `Bug Tracker <https://bugs.launchpad.net/nova>`__
Developers
----------
For information on how to contribute to Nova, please see the contents of the
CONTRIBUTING.rst.
Any new code must follow the development guidelines detailed in the HACKING.rst
file, and pass all unit tests.
Further developer focused documentation is available at:
- `Official Nova Documentation <https://docs.openstack.org/nova/>`__
- `Official Client Documentation
<https://docs.openstack.org/python-novaclient/>`__
Other Information
-----------------
During each `Summit`_ and `Project Team Gathering`_, we agree on what the whole
community wants to focus on for the upcoming release. The plans for nova can
