Some Fuel plugins eliminate the need to install drivers and patches +manually after Fuel deploys an OpenStack environment, while others +enable users to configure additional capabilities, such as additional storage +types and networking functionality. For example, the +`Load Balancing as a Service (LBaaS) `_ +plugin allows you to add network load balancing functionality to your cloud, +so that incoming traffic can be spread across multiple nodes. You can use the +`Nova NFS plugin `_ +so that you can use `NFS `_ +as a storage backend for Nova ephemeral volumes. There is a number of Fuel +plugins available to download for free +in `DriverLog `_. + +In addition, Fuel offers an open source framework that enables developers to +create their own plugins and extend their environment functionalities as +required. For example, hardware vendors can benefit from using the plugin +framework by creating plugins that deploy custom drivers and enable OpenStack +to run on custom hardware. \ No newline at end of file
