Compute service
The Compute service is a cloud computing fabric controller, which is the main part of an Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) system. You can use OpenStack Compute to host and manage cloud computing systems. This section describes the Compute service configuration options.
To configure your Compute installation, you must define configuration options in these files:
nova.confcontains most of the Compute configuration options and resides in the/etc/novadirectory.api-paste.inidefines Compute limits and resides in the/etc/novadirectory.- Related Image service and Identity service management configuration files.

The common configurations for shared service and libraries, such as
database connections and RPC messaging, are described at common-configurations.
