Per email discussion[1], v2.1 API is our CURRENT when we get to kilo and v2 is SUPPORTED. Added links to the v2.1 API, v2 API and v2 extensions API in our documentation [1] http://markmail.org/message/p32p5jbvvjedg657 Depends-On: Ibe990ec93d8f9d18ef21c28979e180472df6a33d Closes-Bug: #1435507 Change-Id: Iaa62be9612dd039f7669ff2b5587c922aba54093

Welcome to Nova's developer documentation!
|
|
==========================================
|
|
|
|
Nova is the project name for OpenStack Compute, a cloud computing fabric
|
|
controller, the main part of an IaaS system.
|
|
Individuals and organizations can use Nova to host and manage their own cloud
|
|
computing systems. Nova originated as a project out of NASA Ames Research Laboratory.
|
|
|
|
Nova is written with the following design guidelines in mind:
|
|
|
|
* **Component based architecture**: Quickly add new behaviors
|
|
* **Highly available**: Scale to very serious workloads
|
|
* **Fault-Tolerant**: Isolated processes avoid cascading failures
|
|
* **Recoverable**: Failures should be easy to diagnose, debug, and rectify
|
|
* **Open Standards**: Be a reference implementation for a community-driven api
|
|
* **API Compatibility**: Nova strives to provide API-compatible with popular systems like Amazon EC2
|
|
|
|
This documentation is generated by the Sphinx toolkit and lives in the source
|
|
tree. Additional draft and project documentation on Nova and other components of OpenStack can
|
|
be found on the `OpenStack wiki`_. Cloud administrators, refer to `docs.openstack.org`_.

|
==============
|
|
|
|
Go to the `API Complete Reference v2.1 (CURRENT)`_ for information about the Compute API.
|
|
We still support the older `API Complete Reference v2 (SUPPORTED)`_ and its extensions
|
|
`API Complete Reference v2 extensions (SUPPORTED)`_
