[John Garbutt <John.Garbutt@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

As Todd said, I am concentrating on getting the developer docs straight first. Hence the current fixation on DevStack as a sort of "deployment documentation".

The current idea (feel free to say this will not work for you) is that people can try out OpenStack with DevStack, kick the tyres. They can then use that as a reference to build another deployment using the tools of their own choosing, copying flag files, etc, as required.

Feel free to raise some documentation bugs/requests for areas that you think are the most confusing, and we will do our best to look at those first.

Cheers,
John

Some more general documentation has been started here:
https://review.openstack.org/#change,5419

The devstack scripts are written in bash and include example configurations within them so that you can make your own custom setups and scripts based on them.

There are also chef recipes for working with XenServer here:
https://github.com/openstack/openstack-chef/tree/master/cookbooks/xenserver

If you look carefully at the individual devstack scripts there are techniques to build stage files, build XVA files, etc.

The documentation linked from http://wiki.openstack.org/XenServer is still work in progress, but is written by the actual developers that are making all of this work. The latest devstack scripts are being used and tested by these developers as well.

The compute manual, devstack, chef scripts, etc. will evolve over time to include more details and even more information, but as things are built up, you should just ask if you don't understand something so that we can explain and then include more in the documentation.

Hope that helps.

Thanks,
Todd
