Move the introductory sections one level up, removing the separate section for them. This reads much nicer in HTML now. There's also no need to name the first paragraphs of a chapter "Introduction", this is implied. Change-Id: Ife4275807561dae2ca57dc71b7602240efa94663

|
<para>A multi-site OpenStack environment is one in which services
|
|
located in more than one data center are used to provide the
|
|
overall solution. Usage requirements of different multi-site
|
|
clouds may vary widely, however they share some common needs.
|
|
OpenStack is capable of running in a multi-region
|
|
configuration allowing some parts of OpenStack to effectively
|
|
manage a grouping of sites as a single cloud. With some
|
|
careful planning in the design phase, OpenStack can act as an
|
|
excellent multi-site cloud solution for a multitude of
|
|
needs.</para>
|
|
<para>Some use cases that might indicate a need for a multi-site
|
|
deployment of OpenStack include:</para>
