Although OpenStack architecture designs have been described
in seven major scenarios outlined in other sections
(compute focused, network focused, storage focused, general
purpose, multi-site, hybrid cloud, and massively scalable),
there are a few use cases that do not fit into these categories.
This section discusses these specialized cases and provide some
additional details and design considerations for each use case:
* :doc:`Specialized networking <specialized-networking>`:
describes running networking-oriented software that may involve reading
packets directly from the wire or participating in routing protocols.
* :doc:`Software-defined networking (SDN)
<specialized-software-defined-networking>`:
describes both running an SDN controller from within OpenStack
as well as participating in a software-defined network.
* :doc:`Desktop-as-a-Service <specialized-desktop-as-a-service>`:
describes running a virtualized desktop environment in a cloud
(:term:`Desktop-as-a-Service`).
This applies to private and public clouds.
* :doc:`OpenStack on OpenStack <specialized-openstack-on-openstack>`:
describes building a multi-tiered cloud by running OpenStack
on top of an OpenStack installation.
* :doc:`Specialized hardware <specialized-hardware>`:
describes the use of specialized hardware devices from within
the OpenStack environment.
