Overview¶

Senlin is a clustering service for OpenStack clouds. It creates and operates clusters of homogeneous objects exposed by other OpenStack services. The goal is to make orchestration of collections of similar objects easier.

This document targets senlin contributors.

Understanding the Design¶

Built-in Policy Types¶

Senlin provides some built-in policy types which can be instantiated and then attached to your clusters. These policy types are designed to be orthogonal so that each of them can be used independently. They are also expected to work in a collaborative way to meet the needs of complicated usage scenarios.
