 """
-:class:`~openstack.profile.Profile` is the class that is used to
-define the various preferences for different services.  The preferences that
-are currently supported are service name, region, version and interface.
-The :class:`~openstack.profile.Profile` and the
-:class:`~openstack.connection.Connection` classes are the most important
-user facing classes.
-
-Examples
---------
-
-The :class:`~openstack.profile.Profile` class is constructed
-with no arguments.
-
-Set Methods
-~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-A user's preferences are set based on the service type.  Service type would
-normally be something like 'compute', 'identity', 'object-store', etc.::
-
-    from openstack import profile
-    prof = profile.Profile()
-    prof.set_name('compute', 'matrix')
-    prof.set_region(prof.ALL, 'zion')
-    prof.set_version('identity', 'v3')
-    prof.set_interface('object-store', 'internal')
-    for service in prof.get_services():
-        print(prof.get_filter(service.service_type)
-
-The resulting preference print out would look something like::
-
-    service_type=compute,region=zion,service_name=matrix
-    service_type=network,region=zion
-    service_type=database,region=zion
-    service_type=image,region=zion
-    service_type=metering,region=zion
-    service_type=orchestration,region=zion
-    service_type=object-store,interface=internal,region=zion
-    service_type=identity,region=zion,version=v3
+:class:`~openstack.profile.Profile` is deprecated. Code should use
+:class:`~openstack.config.cloud_region.CloudRegion` instead.
