Welcome to Apache CloudStack’s Documentation
We have a number of guides, starting with a guide to cloudstack’s terminology and concepts, moving through some information about possible topologies. We then have a quick start guide to help you get a very simple cloudstack up and running. Followed by the full installation guide, an administrator’s guide and then further detailed guides on complex configurations.
Information can also be found at CloudStack’s wiki https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/CLOUDSTACK/Home and on cloudstack mailing lists http://cloudstack.apache.org/mailing-lists.html
