cycle-highlights:
  - It is now possible to run Nova with version 1.0.0 of the recently
    extracted placement service, hosted from its own repository. Note
    that install/upgrade of an extracted placement service is not yet fully
    implemented in all deployment tools. Operators should check with their
    particular deployment tool for support before proceeding. See the
    placement `install
    <https://docs.openstack.org/placement/latest/install/index.html>`_ and
    `upgrade
    <https://docs.openstack.org/placement/latest/upgrade/to-stein.html>`_
    documentation for more details.
    In Stein, operators may choose to continue to run with the integrated
    placement service from the Nova repository, but should begin planning a
    migration to the extracted placement service by Train, as the removal of
    the integrated placement code from Nova is planned for the Train release.
  - Users can now specify a volume type when creating servers.
  - The compute API is now tolerant of transient conditions in a
    deployment like partial infrastructure failures, for example a cell
    not being reachable.
  - Users can now create servers with Neutron ports that have
    quality-of-service minimum bandwidth rules.
  - Operators can now set overcommit allocation ratios using Nova configuration
    files or the placement API.
  - Compute driver capabilities are now automatically exposed as traits
    in the placement API so they can be used for scheduling via flavor
    extra specs and/or image properties.
  - Live migration is now supported for the VMware driver.
