+Meta data and cloud init
+------------------------
 
+In order to enable the VMs to get configuration like public keys,
+hostnames, etc.. you need to enable meta service. You can do it
+by adding the following lines to local.conf file (before running 
+'stack.sh' command):
+
+  enable_service q-meta
+  enable_service q-dhcp
+
+For the meta service to work correctly, another "hidden" service
+must be started. It is called meta-service-proxy and it is
+used to forward meta data client requests to real meta service.
+By default, it is started by regular q-dhcp service for each tenant.
+As a result 'q-meta' and 'q-dhcp' services must be enabled.
