The concept/name of controller was copied over from nova when the docs were imported. That concept doesn't really fit in with placement and also does not describe what the docs are actually doing. We're not installing a controller, we're installing placement. Thus filenames and titles are updated and intro paragraphs clarified. Also, the endpoints.rst file is moved into a shared directory as it is not a standalone install doc. Note that the big warning remains on the top of the install docs because it is still true. These instructions and the packages they mention have not been verified. Story: 2005190 Change-Id: I5fcbc90eda3ef74dba2336ea3e5c9f53938c6378

Placement Service
Warning
These installation documents are a work in progress. Some of the distribution packages mentioned are not yet available so the instructions will not work.
The placement service provides an HTTP API
used to track resource provider inventories and usages. More detail can
be found at the placement
overview </index>.
Placement operates as a web service over a data model. Installation involves creating the necessary database and installing and configuring the web service. This is a straightforward process, but there are quite a few steps to integrate placement with the rest of an OpenStack cloud.
Note
Placement is required by some of the other OpenStack services, notably nova, therefore it should be installed before those other services but after Identity (keystone).
