<h1>Welcome to Nova’s documentation!<a class="headerlink" href="#welcome-to-nova-s-documentation" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h1>
|
||
<p>Nova is a cloud computing fabric controller, the main part of an IaaS system.
|
||
Individuals and organizations can use Nova to host and manage their own cloud
|
||
computing systems. Nova originated as a project out of NASA Ames Research Laboratory.</p>
|
||
<p>Nova is written with the following design guidelines in mind:</p>
|
||
<ul class="simple">
|
||
<li><strong>Component based architecture</strong>: Quickly add new behaviors</li>
|
||
<li><strong>Highly available</strong>: Scale to very serious workloads</li>
|
||
<li><strong>Fault-Tollerant</strong>: Isloated processes avoid cascading failures</li>
|
||
<li><strong>Recoverable</strong>: Failures should be easy to diagnose, debug, and rectify</li>
|
||
<li><strong>Open Standards</strong>: Be a reference implementation for a community-driven api</li>
|
||
<li><strong>API Compatibility</strong>: Nova strives to provide API-compatible with popular systems like Amazon EC2</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
<p>This documentation is generated by the Sphinx toolkit and lives in the source
|
||
tree. Additional documentation on Nova and other components of OpenStack can
|
||
be found on the <a class="reference external" href="http://wiki.openstack.org">OpenStack wiki</a>. Also see the <a class="reference internal" href="community.html"><em>Getting Involved</em></a> page for
|
||
other ways to interact with the community.</p>
