At the Stein summit (and previous discussions) the topic of exposing cellsv2 out of the API came up again. This patch adds two FAQ entries reflecting my notes from early design decisions about why we did not want to do that, along with more recent examples, such as FFU. These are my feelings on the subject and I was asked to put these into FAQ form for posterity to make the discussion easier in the future. I would recommend that we agree on these and then codify them here. Change-Id: I0499e141456fcca63f95bad25503c4e86c6aa369

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
be found at:
- `Nova Specs <http://specs.openstack.org/openstack/nova-specs/>`__
