<title>Specialized cases</title>
<para>Although most OpenStack architecture designs fall into one
of the seven major scenarios outlined in other sections
(compute focused, network focused, storage focused, general
purpose, multi-site, hybrid cloud, and massively scalable),
there are a few use cases that do not fit into these categories.
This section discusses these specialized cases and provide
some additional details and design considerations
for each use case:</para>
