+Managing plugins
+----------------
+
+Since the Newton release a project admin can configure plugins by specifying
+additional values for plugin's labels.
+
+To disable a plugin (Vanilla Apache Hadoop, for example), the admin
+can run the following command:
+
+.. sourcecode:: console
+
+ cat update_configs.json
+ {
+     "plugin_labels": {
+         "enabled": {
+             "status": true
+         }
+     }
+ }
+ openstack plugin update vanilla update_configs.json
+
+
+Additionally, specific versions can be disabled by the following command:
+
+.. sourcecode:: console
+
+ cat update_configs.json
+ {
+     "version_labels": {
+         "2.7.1": {
+             "enabled": {
+                 "status": true
+             }
+         }
+     }
+ }
+ openstack plugin update vanilla update_configs.json
+
+
+Finally, to see all labels of a specific plugin and to see the current status
+of the plugin (is it stable or not, deprecation status) the following command
+can be executed from the CLI:
+
+.. sourcecode:: console
+
+ openstack plugin show vanilla
+
+The same actions are available from UI respectively.
