EdLeafe 5794b857b4 Rename files to remove 'placement'
When part of Nova, many files were named in such a way as to indicate
that they were separate from the nova files that did the same thing. Now
that that distinction is no longer needed, we can rename them to sound
more natural.

Additionally, references to these file names in other parts of the code
have been updated.

Configuration Guide

The static configuration for nova lives in two main files: nova.conf and policy.json. These are described below. For a bigger picture view on configuring nova to solve specific problems, refer to the Nova Admin Guide </admin/index>.

Policy

Placement, like most OpenStack projects, uses a policy language to restrict permissions on REST API actions.

  • Policy Reference <policy>: A complete reference of all policy points in placement and what they impact.
  • Sample Policy File <sample-policy>: A sample placement policy file with inline documentation.
