Welcome to Nova's documentation!

Nova is a cloud computing fabric controller, the main part of an IaaS system.

Nova is written with the following design guidelines in mind:

  • Component based architecture: Quickly add new behaviors
  • Highly available: Scale to very serious workloads
  • Fault-Tollerant: Isloated processes avoid cascading failures
  • Recoverable: Failures should be easy to diagnose, debug, and rectify
  • Open Standards: Be a reference implementation for a community-driven api

This documentation is generated by the Sphinx toolkit and lives in the source tree. Additional documentation on Nova and other components of OpenStack can be found on the OpenStack wiki.
