Welcome to Nova's documentation!

================================

Nova is a cloud computing fabric controller (the main part of an IaaS system).
|
|
|
|
|
It is written in Python and relies on the standard AMQP messaging protocol, uses the Twisted framework,
|
|
|
|
|
and optionally uses the Redis distributed key value store for authorization.
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
Nova is intended to be easy to extend and adapt. For example, authentication and authorization
|
|
|
|
|
requests by default use an RDBMS-backed datastore driver. However, there is already support
|
|
|
|
|
for using LDAP backing authentication (slapd) and if you wish to "fake" LDAP, there is a module
|
|
|
|
|
available that uses ReDIS to store authentication information in an LDAP-like backing datastore.
|
|
|
|
|
It has extensive test coverage, and uses the Sphinx toolkit (the same as Python itself) for code
|
|
|
|
|
and developer documentation. Additional documentation is available on the

'OpenStack wiki <http://wiki.openstack.org>'_.

While Nova is currently in Beta use within several organizations, the codebase
|

|
|
|
is very much under active development - please test it and log bugs!
