<para>The dashboard is usually deployed through <link
xlink:href="http://code.google.com/p/modwsgi/"
>mod_wsgi</link> in Apache. You can modify the dashboard
code to make it suitable for different sites.</para>
<para>From a network architecture point of view, this service
must be accessible to customers and the public API for each
OpenStack service. To use the administrator functionality for
other services, it must also connect to Admin API endpoints,
which should not be accessible by customers.</para>
