====================================================
Container Infrastructure Management service overview
====================================================
The Container Infrastructure Management service consists of the
following components:
``magnum`` command-line client
A CLI that communicates with the ``magnum-api`` to create and manage
container clusters (i.e. bays in magnum terminology). End developers
can directly use the magnum REST API.
``magnum-api`` service
An OpenStack-native REST API that processes API requests by sending
them to the ``magnum-conductor`` via AMQP.
``magnum-conductor`` service
Runs on a controller machine and connects to heat to orchestrate a
magnum bay. Additionally, it connects to a Docker Swarm, Kubernetes
or Mesos REST API endpoint.
