Magnum User Guide for Cloud Operator
There has been frequent requests for a Magnum User Guide that is more in-depth than the current Quick Start Guide.
From the discussion at the contributor meetup in Tokyo, a user guide skeleton will be set up for contributors to add content over time.
The following sections are suggested for the User Guide (not in any particular order):
- High level overview of Magnum - Magnum Rationale (compelling features, mention of how we use heat)
- TLS (Native Client Configuration guide), one per bay
- Native client configuration should be setup automatically by magnum client?
- Networking
- Kubernetes
- Swarm
- Python Client
- Horizon Interface (with screenshots)
- Buyer's guide for choosing COE by example use case
( example: http://
- HA Guide
- Scaling How-to (Including Autoscaling)
- Storage Overview (this will grow as we add storage features)
- Image Management
- Clean up of bay resources, i.e. heat stack-delete

Whiteboard
The following sections have existing write-up in separate documents, so the relevant parts from these documents can be pulled and expanded for the user guide.
-Transport Layer Security: doc/source/
-Mesos: doc/source/
-Networking: spec/container-
The quick start guide also has tid-bits that can be used as the starting point for some sections.
The following sections need full new write-up:
-Python Client
-Horizon Interface
-Choosing COE
-Native clients
-Kubernetes
-Swarm
-High Availability
-Scaling
-Storage
-Image Management
-Bay driver

We might want to break the user guide to ops guide and end-user guide.
ops guide could contain:
- this option which is related to performance and security [1]
(The performance gain is not confirmed though)
- add LBaaS
- add swift for docker registry
- HA with barbican or X509keypair
The above three options are essentially part of an extended or advanced install guide

I think the operator would use the install guide, so it probably makes sense to add an "Advanced" section to the install guide to cover performance tuning and optional components for additional functionality. As we gain more experience with the scalability study, we can add best practices there also.
Users normally would not have access to the environment to perform these tasks.
