The static configuration for nova lives in two main files: nova.conf
and
policy.yaml
. These are described below. For a bigger picture view on
configuring nova to solve specific problems, refer to the Nova Admin
Guide.
nova.conf
file.Nova, like most OpenStack projects, uses a policy language to restrict permissions on REST API actions.
Nova uses flavor extra specs as a way to provide additional information to instances beyond basic information like amount of RAM or disk. This information can range from hints for the scheduler to hypervisor-specific configuration instructions for the instance.
