Markus Zoeller 10b5cdde10 Reorder the compute config options page 
I reordered the existing content into a structure like:
* intro
* quickstart
* full details

People not familiar with the config options of Nova are now
able to quickly find all possible options to get a rough understanding
what's possible. Operators will be mostly interested in new, changed
and deprecated options, which is also more prominent at the top now.

Compute service

The Compute service is a cloud computing fabric controller, which is the main part of an Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) system. You can use OpenStack Compute to host and manage cloud computing systems. This section describes the Compute service configuration options.

To configure your Compute installation, you must define configuration options in these files:

  • nova.conf contains most of the Compute configuration options and resides in the /etc/nova directory.
  • api-paste.ini defines Compute limits and resides in the /etc/nova directory.
  • Related Image service and Identity service management configuration files.

For a quick overview:

A list of config options based on different topics can be found below:

Note

The common configurations for shared service and libraries, such as database connections and RPC messaging, are described at common-configurations.
