Welcome to Poppy’s developer documentation!

Poppy is an OpenStack-related project to provide a generic and modular vendor-neutral API which wraps provisioning instructions for CDN vendors that support it.

Poppy, as with all OpenStack projects, is written with the following design guidelines in mind:

• 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 Poppy and other components of OpenStack can be found on the OpenStack wiki. Cloud administrators, refer to docs.openstack.org.
