Magnum User Guide
This guide is intended for users who use Magnum to deploy and manage clusters of hosts for a Container Orchestration Engine. It describes the infrastructure that Magnum creates and how to work with them.
Section 1-3 describe Magnum itself, including an overview, the CLI and Horizon interface. Section 4-8 describe the Container Orchestration Engine's supported along with a guide on how to select one that best meets your needs. Section 9-14 describe the low level OpenStack infrastructure that is created and managed by Magnum to support the Container Orchestration Engine's.

Terminology
- Bay
-
A bay is the construct in which Magnum launches container orchestration engines. After a bay has been created the user is able to add containers to it either directly, or in the case of the Kubernetes container orchestration engine within pods - a logical construct specific to that implementation. A bay is created based on a baymodel.
- Baymodel
-
A baymodel in Magnum is roughly equivalent to a flavor in Nova. It acts as a template that defines options such as the container orchestration engine, keypair and image for use when Magnum is creating bays using the given baymodel.
- Container Orchestration Engine (COE)
-
A container orchestration engine manages the lifecycle of one or more containers, logically represented in Magnum as a bay. Magnum supports a number of container orchestration engines, each with their own pros and cons, including Docker Swarm, Kubernetes, and Mesos.
