This web page will walk you through the stages of learning to develop applications to run on OpenStack.
Need a place to start learning OpenStack, or your own personal OpenStack development environment?
Think of these as curated playlists of OpenStack configurations. These Reference Architectures are based on real-world workloads. The Reference Architecture document will give you a good idea of which core and optional projects might be used by the workload. In addition, each Reference Architecture includes sample Heat and or Murano packages which will allow you to reproduce the workload in your own environment.
A software development kit (SDK) contains code, examples, and documentation that you use to create OpenStack cloud applications in the language of your choice.
If one of the following SDKs do not support your language or use case, you can use the APIs or one of the other known SDKs.
SDKs that specifically target OpenStack. These will give the deepest support for using OpenStack specific features, but won't help write applications that work on both OpenStack as well as other clouds.
