<title>Why and how we wrote this book</title>
<para>The velocity at which OpenStack environments are moving from
proof-of-concepts to production deployments is leading to
increasing questions and issues related to architecture design
considerations. By and large these considerations are not
addressed in the existing documentation, which typically
focuses on the specifics of deployment and configuration
options or operational considerations, rather than the bigger
picture.</para>
<para>We wrote this book to guide readers in designing an
OpenStack architecture that meets the needs of their
organization. This guide concentrates on identifying important
design considerations for common cloud use cases and provides
examples based on these design guidelines. This guide does not
aim to provide explicit instructions for installing and
configuring the cloud, but rather focuses on design principles
as they relate to user requirements as well as technical and
operational considerations. For specific guidance with
installation and configuration there are a number of resources
already available in the OpenStack documentation that help in
that area.</para>

<para>This book was written in a book sprint format, which is a
facilitated, rapid development production method for books.
