Compute-focused clouds are a specialized subset of the general
purpose OpenStack cloud architecture. A compute-focused cloud
specifically supports compute intensive workloads.
.. note::
Compute intensive workloads may be CPU intensive, RAM intensive,
or both; they are not typically storage or network intensive.
Compute-focused workloads may include the following use cases:
* High performance computing (HPC)
* Big data analytics using Hadoop or other distributed data stores
* Continuous integration/continuous deployment (CI/CD)
* Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS)
* Signal processing for network function virtualization (NFV)
.. note::
A compute-focused OpenStack cloud does not typically use raw
block storage services as it does not host applications that
require persistent block storage.
