Welcome to nova's documentation!
|
|
================================
|
|
|
|
Nova is a cloud computing fabric controller (the main part of an IaaS system) built to match the popular AWS EC2 and S3 APIs.
|
|
It is written in Python, using the Tornado and Twisted frameworks, and relies on the standard AMQP messaging protocol,
|
|
and the Redis distributed KVS.
|
|
Nova is intended to be easy to extend, and adapt. For example, it currently uses
|
|
an LDAP server for users and groups, but also includes a fake LDAP server,
|
|
that stores data in Redis. It has extensive test coverage, and uses the
|
|
Sphinx toolkit (the same as Python itself) for code and user documentation.
|
|
While Nova is currently in Beta use within several organizations, the codebase
|
|
is very much under active development - there are bugs!
