Jay S. Bryant e9857d616d Migrate the blockstorage admin-guide to Cinder

This patch is part of the docs migration for Cinder.
It is more or less a drag and drop of the docs from
openstack-manuals admin-guide directory.  I needed to
change some syntax to work with Cinder's more stringent
doc build.

Note that the purpose of this patch is just to get the
documentation back to an accessible location.  Later patches
will clean up the organization and content.

Raw Blame History

Welcome to Cinder's developer documentation!

Cinder is an OpenStack project to provide "block storage as a service".

Component based architecture: Quickly add new behaviors
Highly available: Scale to very serious workloads
Fault-Tolerant: Isolated processes avoid cascading failures
Recoverable: Failures should be easy to diagnose, debug, and rectify
Open Standards: Be a reference implementation for a community-driven api

This documentation is generated by the Sphinx toolkit and lives in the source tree. Additional draft and project documentation on Cinder and other components of OpenStack can be found on the OpenStack wiki. Cloud administrators, refer to docs.openstack.org.
