+Openstack Compute High Availability
+
+Osha allows Openstack to have High availability in compute nodes. Simply it monitors all compute nodes in your deployment
+and if there is any failure in one of the computes it launches the evacuation tool to evacuate this node and move all
+instances to another compute node.
+
+Osha has a plugable architecture so you can use any monitoring system you want to use it for monitoring your compute nodes
+just by adding a simple plugin and adjust your configuration file to use this plugin or combination of plugins if you want
+
+Osha runs as scheduler in the control plane which communicates with the monitoring system to get compute nodes status
+For running osha under high availability mode, it should run with active passive mode.
