+    With the standalone deployment mechanism, the default list of enabled
+    OpenStack services is Keystone, Nova (and related), Neutron (and related),
+    Glance, Cinder, Swift and Horizon. The default list of disabled of
+    OpenStack services is Aodh, Barbican, Ceilomter, Congress, Designate,
+    Gnocchi, Heat, Ironic, Manila, Mistral, Panko, Sahara, Tacker and Zaqar.
+    Disabled services can be enabled by passing the appropriate environment
+    files to re-enable them during the deployment.
