Dashboard overview
|
|
==================
|
|
|
|
The OpenStack dashboard is a modular `Django web
|
|
application <https://www.djangoproject.com/>`__ that provides a
|
|
graphical interface to OpenStack services.

|
|
|
The dashboard is usually deployed through
|
|
`mod_wsgi <http://code.google.com/p/modwsgi/>`__ in Apache. You can
|
|
modify the dashboard code to make it suitable for different sites.
|
|
|
|
From a network architecture point of view, this service must be
|
|
accessible to customers and the public API for each OpenStack service.
|
|
To use the administrator functionality for other services, it must also
|
|
connect to Admin API endpoints, which should not be accessible by
|
|
customers.
