+  Many thanks to the OpenStack Nova team for the Example Spec that formed the
+  basis for this document.
+
+=======================
+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 include the StoryBoard number and
+  name, for example a Story at
+  https://storyboard.openstack.org/#!/story/1234567 should be named
+  [category]_1234567-feature-name.rst (refer to instructions.rst for guidelines
+  on a suitable category name)
+
+* 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.
+

+
+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 your plans for testing this feature. Your plans should
+include:
+
+* A discussion of whether or not you plan to create unit tests for the
+  feature.
+
+* A discussion of how the new functionality you are adding
+  will be tested by you. Describe at a high level the test scenarios that
+  are needed and which (if any) can be covered by existing tests. Identify
+  any areas outside of your changes that could be impacted by them, and
+  thus would need to be tested.
+
+* Once we have an infrastructure for
+  automated functional testing for StarlingX,
+  this section should include a brief description of the kinds of test
+  cases that can be automated within that framework for this feature.
+
+* any existing tests that should be run to test this feature.
+
+Your test plan should cover the important scenarios that
+need to be tested.  Please think about
+edge cases as well. Your test plan should cover all of
+the StarlingX physical (e.g. simplex, duplex, standard)
+configurations that might be impacted by the changes you are making.
+
+Your changes may impact several parts of the operation of a StarlingX
+deployment. Please work with your sub-project PL, TL and sub-project
+team to prepare and review your test plan. Successful completion of
+the feature test plan is a gate to the code being approved
+by the project's core reviewers.
+
+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.
+
+References
+==========
+
+Please add any useful references here. You are not required to have any
+reference. Moreover, this specification should still make sense when your
+references are unavailable. Examples of what you could include are:
+
+* Links to mailing list or IRC discussions
+
+* Links to notes from a summit session
+
+* Links to relevant research, if appropriate
+
+* Related specifications as appropriate (e.g. if it's an EC2 thing, link the
+  EC2 docs)
+
+* Anything else you feel it is worthwhile to refer to
+
+
+History
+=======
+
+Optional section intended to be used each time the spec is updated to describe
+new design, API or any database schema updated. Useful to let reader understand
+what's happened along the time.
