<title>How this book is organized</title>
|
|
<para>This book examines some of the most common uses for OpenStack
|
|
clouds, and explains the considerations for each use case.
|
|
Cloud architects may use this book as a comprehensive guide by
|
|
reading all of the use cases, but it is also possible to review
|
|
only the chapters which pertain to a specific use case.
|
|
The use cases covered in this guide include:</para>
