# -- Welcome!
You have come across a cloud computing network fabric controller. It has identified
itself as "Quantum." It aims to tame your (cloud) networking!
# -- Basics:
1) Quantum REST API: Quantum supports a REST-ful programmatic interface to manage your
cloud networking fabric.
2) Quantum Plugins: Quantum sports a plug-able architecture that allows Quantum's REST API
to be backed by various entities that can create a cloud-class virtual networking fabric.
The advantages of this plug-able architecture is two-folds:
a) Allows for ANY open-source project or commercial vendor to write a Quantum plug-in.
b) Allows Quantum users to not be tied down to a single Quantum implementation and
enables them to switch out a plug-in by simple editing a config file - plugins.ini
