+
+StarlingX: Example Spec
+=======================
+
+Some notes about the Spec process:
+
+* The aim of this document is first to define the problem we need to solve,
+  and second agree on the overall approach to solve that problem.
+
+* This is not intended to be extensive documentation for a new feature.
+  For example, there is no need to specify the exact configuration changes,
+  nor the exact details of any DB model changes. But you should still define
+  that such changes are required, and be clear on how that will affect
+  upgrades.
+
+* You should aim to get your spec approved before writing your code.
+  While you are free to write prototypes and code before getting your spec
+  approved, its possible that the outcome of the spec review process leads
+  you towards a fundamentally different solution than you first envisaged.
+
+* But, API changes are held to a much higher level of scrutiny.
+  As soon as an API change merges, we must assume it could be in production
+  somewhere, and as such, we then need to support that API change forever.
+  To avoid getting that wrong, we do want lots of details about API changes
+  upfront.
+
+Some notes about using this template:
+
+* Your spec should be in ReSTructured text, like this template.
+
+* Please wrap text at 79 columns.
+
+* The filename in the git repository should match the Storyboard URL, for
+  example a URL of: spec/awesome-thing
+  should be named awesome-thing.rst
+
+* Please do not delete any of the sections in this template.  If you have
+  nothing to say for a whole section, just write: None
+
+* For help with syntax, see http://sphinx-doc.org/rest.html
+
+* To test out your formatting, build the docs using tox and see the generated
+  HTML file in doc/build/html/specs/<path_of_your_file>
+
+* If you would like to provide a diagram with your spec, ascii diagrams are
+  required.  http://asciiflow.com/ is a very nice tool to assist with making
+  ascii diagrams.  The reason for this is that the tool used to review specs is
+  based purely on plain text.  Plain text will allow review to proceed without
+  having to look at additional files which can not be viewed in gerrit.  It
+  will also allow inline feedback on the diagram itself.
+
+
+Example Spec - The title of your blueprint
+==========================================
+
+Include the URL of your Storyboard Story:
+
+Storyboard: https://storyboard.openstack.org/#!/story/list?status=active&project_group_id=86
+
+Introduction paragraph -- why are we doing anything? The essential "Why" or motivation is key to laying the ground for the work ahead.  It provides contexts for all involved in the work.  A single paragraph of
+prose that operators can understand. The title and this first paragraph
+should be used as the subject line and body of the commit message
+respectively.
+
+Problem description
+===================
+
+A detailed description of the problem. What problem is this spec
+addressing?
+
+Use Cases
+=========
+
+What use cases does this address? What impact on actors does this change have?
+Ensure you are clear about the actors/personas in each use case: Developer, End User, Deployer etc.
+
+Proposed change
+===============
+
+Here is where you cover the change you propose to make in detail. How do you
+propose to solve this problem?
+
+If this is one part of a larger effort make it clear where this piece ends. In
+other words, what's the scope of this effort?
+
+At this point, if you would like to just get feedback on if the problem and
+proposed change fit in StarlingX, you can stop here and post this for review to get preliminary feedback. If so please say:
+Posting to get preliminary feedback on the scope of this spec.
+
+Alternatives
+============
+
+What other ways could we do this thing? Why aren't we using those? This
+doesn't have to be a full literature review, but it should demonstrate that
+thought has been put into why the proposed solution is an appropriate one.
+
+Data model impact
+=================
+
+Changes which require modifications to the data model often have a wider
+impact on the system.  The community often has strong opinions on how the data
+model should be evolved, from both a functional and performance perspective.
+It is therefore important to capture and gain agreement as early as possible
+on any proposed changes to the data model.
+
+Questions which need to be addressed by this section should include:
+
+* What new data objects and/or database schema changes is this going to
+  require?
+
+* What database migrations will accompany this change.
+
+* How will the initial set of new data objects be generated.
+
+REST API impact
+===============
+
+Each API method which is either added or changed should have the following
+
+* Specification for the method : As best as can be determined at
+  the definition stage.
+
+  * Parameters which can be passed via the url
+
+* Example use case including typical API samples for both data supplied
+  by the caller and the response
+
+* Discuss any policy changes, and discuss what things a deployer needs to
+  think about when defining their policy.
+
+Note that the schema should be defined as restrictively as
+possible. Parameters which are required should be marked as such and
+only under exceptional circumstances should additional parameters
+which are not defined in the schema be permitted (eg
+additionaProperties should be False).
+
+Reuse of existing predefined parameter types such as regexps for
+passwords and user defined names is highly encouraged.
+
+Security impact
+===============
+
+Describe any potential security impact on the system.  Some of the items to
+consider include:
+
+* Does this change touch sensitive data such as tokens, keys, or user data?
+
+* Does this change alter the API in a way that may impact security, such as
+  a new way to access sensitive information or a new way to login?
+
+* Does this change involve cryptography or hashing?
+
+* Does this change require the use of sudo or any elevated privileges?
+
+* Does this change involve using or parsing user-provided data? This could
+  be directly at the API level or indirectly such as changes to a cache layer.
+
+* Can this change enable a resource exhaustion attack, such as allowing a
+  single API interaction to consume significant server resources? Some examples
+  of this include launching subprocesses for each connection, or entity
+  expansion attacks in XML.
+
+For more detailed guidance, please see the OpenStack Security Guidelines as
+a reference (https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Security/Guidelines).  These
+guidelines are a work in progress and are designed to help you identify
+security best practices.  For further information, feel free to reach out
+to the OpenStack Security Group at openstack-security@lists.openstack.org.
+
+Other end user impact
+=====================
+
+Aside from the API, are there other ways a user will interact with this
+feature?
+
+* Does this change have an impact on python-client? What does the user
+  interface there look like?
+
+Performance Impact
+==================
+
+Describe any potential performance impact on the system, for example
+how often will new code be called, and is there a major change to the calling
+pattern of existing code.
+
+Examples of things to consider here include:
+
+* A periodic task might look like a small addition but if it calls conductor or
+  another service the load is multiplied by the number of nodes in the system.
+
+* Any impacts to the deployment performance
+
+* A small change in a utility function or a commonly used decorator can have a
+  large impacts on performance.
+
+* Calls which result in a database queries (whether direct or via conductor)
+  can have a profound impact on performance when called in critical sections of
+  the code.
+
+* Will the change include any locking, and if so what considerations are there
+  on holding the lock?
+
+Other deployer impact
+=====================
+
+Discuss things that will affect how you deploy and configure OpenStack
+that have not already been mentioned, such as:
+
+* What config options are being added? Should they be more generic than
+  proposed? Are the default values ones which will work well in
+  real deployments?
+
+* Is this a change that takes immediate effect after its merged, or is it
+  something that has to be explicitly enabled?
+
+* If this change is a new binary, how would it be deployed?
+
+* Please state anything that those those upgrading from the previous release,
+  need to be aware of. Also describe any plans to deprecate configuration
+  values or features.  Consider the potential implications of automated
+  deployment technologies.
+
+Developer impact
+=================
+
+Discuss things that will affect other developers working on StarlingX.
+
+Upgrade impact
+===============
+
+Describe any potential upgrade impact on the system, such as:
+
+* StarlingX supports N-1 version for rolling upgrades. Does
+  the proposed change need to consider older code running that may impact how
+  the new change functions, for example, by changing or overwriting global
+  state in the database? This is generally most problematic when making changes
+  that involve multiple compute hosts, like move operations such as migrate,
+  resize, unshelve and evacuate.
+
+
+Implementation
+==============
+
+Assignee(s)
+===========
+
+Who is leading the writing of the code? Or is this a blueprint where you're
+throwing it out there to see who picks it up?
+
+If more than one person is working on the implementation, please designate the
+primary author and contact.
+
+Primary assignee:
+  <launchpad-id or None>
+
+Other contributors:
+  <launchpad-id or None>
+
+Repos Impacted
+==============
+
+List repositories in StarlingX that are impacted by this spec.
+
+Work Items
+===========
+
+Work items or tasks -- break the feature up into the things that need to be
+done to implement it. Those parts might end up being done by different people,
+but we're mostly trying to understand the timeline for implementation.
+
+
+Dependencies
+============
+
+* Include specific references to specs in StarlingX, or in other
+  projects, that this one either depends on or is related to.
+
+* If this requires functionality of another project that is not currently used
+  by StarlingX document that fact.
+
+* Does this feature require any new library dependencies or code otherwise not
+  included in OpenStack? Or does it depend on a specific version of library?
+
+
+Testing
+=======
+
+Please discuss the important scenarios needed to test here, as well as
+specific edge cases we should be ensuring work correctly. For each
+scenario please specify if this requires specialized hardware, a full
+openstack environment, or can be simulated inside the project tree.
+
+Please discuss how the change will be tested. We especially want to know what
+tempest tests will be added. It is assumed that unit test coverage will be
+added so that doesn't need to be mentioned explicitly, but discussion of why
+you think unit tests are sufficient and we don't need to add more 
+tests would need to be included.
+
+Is this untestable in gate given current limitations (specific hardware /
+software configurations available)? If so, are there mitigation plans (3rd
+party testing, gate enhancements, etc).
+
+
+Documentation Impact
+====================
+
+Which audiences are affected most by this change, and which documentation
+titles for StarlingX should be updated because of this change? Don't
+repeat details discussed above, but reference them here in the context of
+documentation for multiple audiences. For example, the End User Guide would
+need to be updated if the change offers a new feature available through the
+CLI or dashboard. If a config option changes or is deprecated, note here that
+the documentation needs to be updated to reflect this specification's change.
+
