 Eventually the config options for providing credentials to tempest will be
 deprecated and removed in favor of the accounts.yaml file.
 
+Keystone Connection Info
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+In order for tempest to be able to talk to your OpenStack deployment you need
+to provide it with information about how it communicates with keystone.
+This involves configuring the following options in the identity section:
+
+ #. auth_version
+ #. uri
+ #. uri_v3
+
+The *auth_version* option is used to tell tempest whether it should be using
+keystone's v2 or v3 api for communicating with keystone. (except for the
+identity api tests which will test a specific version) The 2 uri options are
+used to tell tempest the url of the keystone endpoint. The *uri* option is used
+for keystone v2 request and *uri_v3* is used for keystone v3. You want to ensure
+that which ever version you set for *auth_version* has its uri option defined.

+Compute
+-------
+
+Flavors
+^^^^^^^
+For tempest to be able to create servers you need to specify flavors that it
+can use to boot the servers with. There are 2 options in the tempest config
+for doing this:
+
+ #. flavor_ref
+ #. flavor_ref_alt
+
+Both of these options are in the compute section of the config file and take
+in the flavor id (not the name) from nova. The *flavor_ref* option is what will
+be used for booting almost all of the guests, *flavor_ref_alt* is only used in
+tests where 2 different sized servers are required. (for example a resize test)
+
+Using a smaller flavor is generally recommended, when larger flavors are used
+the extra time required to bring up servers will likely affect total run time
+and probably require tweaking timeout values to ensure tests have ample time to
+finish.
+
+Images
+^^^^^^
+Just like with flavors, tempest needs to know which images to use for booting
+servers. There are 2 options in the compute section just like with flavors:
+
+ #. image_ref
+ #. image_ref_alt
+
+Both options are expecting an image id (not name) from nova. The *image_ref*
+option is what what will be used for booting the majority of servers in tempest.
+*image_ref_alt* is used for tests that require 2 images such as rebuild. If 2
+images are not available you can set both options to the same image_ref and
+those tests will be skipped.
+
+There are also options in the scenario section for images:
+
+ #. img_file
+ #. img_dir
+ #. aki_img_file
+ #. ari_img_file
+ #. ami_img_file
+ #. img_container_format
+ #. img_disk_format
+
+however unlike the other image options these are used for a very small subset
+of scenario tests which are uploading an image. These options are used to tell
+tempest where an image file is located and describe it's metadata for when it's
+uploaded.
+
+The behavior of these options is a bit convoluted (which will likely be fixed
+in future versions). You first need to specify *img_dir*, which is the directory
+tempest will look for the image files in. First it will check if the filename
+set for *img_file* could be found in *img_dir*. If it is found then the
+*img_container_format* and *img_disk_format* options are used to upload that
+image to glance. However if it's not found tempest will look for the 3 uec image
+file name options as a fallback. If neither is found the tests requiring an
+image to upload will fail.
+
+It is worth pointing out that using `cirros`_ is a very good choice for running
+tempest. It's what is used for upstream testing, they boot quickly and have a
+small footprint.

+
+Networking
+----------
+OpenStack has a myriad of different networking configurations possible and
+depending on which of the 2 network backends, nova-network or neutron, you are
+using things can vary drastically. Due to this complexity Tempest has to provide
+a certain level of flexibility in it's configuration to ensure it will work
+against any cloud. This ends up causing a large number of permutations in
+Tempest's config around network configuration.
+
+
+Enabling Remote Access to Created Servers
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+When Tempest creates servers for testing, some tests require being able to
+connect those servers. Depending on the configuration of the cloud, the methods
+for doing this can be different. In certain configurations it is required to
+specify a single network with server create calls. Accordingly, Tempest provides
+a few different methods for providing this information in configuration to try
+and ensure that regardless of the clouds configuration it'll still be able to
+run. This section covers the different methods of configuring Tempest to provide
+a network when creating servers.
+
+Fixed Network Name
+""""""""""""""""""
+This is the simplest method of specifying how networks should be used. You can
+just specify a single network name/label to use for all server creations. The
+limitation with this is that all tenants/projects and users must be able to see
+that network name/label if they were to perform a network list and be able to
+use it.
+
+If no network name is assigned in the config file and none of the below
+alternatives are used, then Tempest will not specify a network on server
+creations, which depending on the cloud configuration might prevent them from
+booting.
+
+To set a fixed network name simply do:
+
+ #. Set the fixed_network_name option in the compute group
+
+In the case that the configured fixed network name can not be found by a user
+network list call, it will be treated like one was not provided except that a
+warning will be logged stating that it couldn't be found.
+
+
+Accounts File
+"""""""""""""
+If you are using an accounts file to provide credentials for running Tempest
+then you can leverage it to also specify which network should be used with
+server creations on a per tenant/project and user pair basis. This provides
+the necessary flexibility to work with more intricate networking configurations
+by enabling the user to specify exactly which network to use for which
+tenants/projects. You can refer to the accounts.yaml sample file included in
+the tempest repo for the syntax around specifying networks in the file.
+
+However, specifying a network is not required when using an accounts file. If
+one is not specified you can use a fixed network name to specify the network to
+use when creating servers just as without an accounts file. However, any network
+specified in the accounts file will take precedence over the fixed network name
+provided. If no network is provided in the accounts file and a fixed network
+name is not set then no network will be included in create server requests.
+
+If a fixed network is provided and the accounts.yaml file also contains networks
+this has the benefit of enabling a couple more tests which require a static
+network to perform operations like server lists with a network filter. If a
+fixed network name is not provided these tests are skipped. Additionally, if a
+fixed network name is provided it will serve as a fallback in case of a
+misconfiguration or a missing network in the accounts file.
+
+
+With Tenant Isolation
+"""""""""""""""""""""
+With tenant isolation enabled and using nova-network then nothing changes. Your
+only option for configuration is to either set a fixed network name or not.
+However, in most cases it shouldn't matter because nova-network should have no
+problem booting a server with multiple networks. If this is not the case for
+your cloud then using an accounts file is recommended because it provides the
+necessary flexibility to describe your configuration. Tenant isolation is not
+able to dynamically allocate things as necessary if neutron is not enabled.
+
+With neutron and tenant isolation enabled there should not be any additional
+configuration necessary to enable Tempest to create servers with working
+networking, assuming you have properly configured the network section to work
+for your cloud. Tempest will dynamically create the neutron resources necessary
+to enable using servers with that network. Also, just as with the accounts
+file, if you specify a fixed network name while using neutron and tenant
+isolation it will enable running tests which require a static network and it
+will additionally be used as a fallback for server creation. However, unlike
+accounts.yaml this should never be triggered.
+
+Configuring Available Services
+------------------------------
+OpenStack is really a constellation of several different projects which
+are running together to create a cloud. However which projects you're running
+is not set in stone, and which services are running is up to the deployer.
+Tempest however needs to know which services are available so it can figure
+out which tests it is able to run and certain setup steps which differ based
+on the available services.
+
+The *service_available* section of the config file is used to set which
+services are available. It contains a boolean option for each service (except
+for keystone which is a hard requirement) set it to True if the service is
+available or False if it is not.
+
+Service Catalog
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+Each project which has its own REST API contains an entry in the service
+catalog. Like most things in OpenStack this is also completely configurable.
+However, for tempest to be able to figure out the endpoints to send REST API
+calls for each service to it needs to know how that project is defined in the
+service catalog. There are 3 options for each service section to accomplish
+this:
+
+ #. catalog_type
+ #. endpoint_type
+ #. region
+
+Setting *catalog_type* and *endpoint_type* should normally give Tempest enough
+information to determine which endpoint it should pull from the service
+catalog to use for talking to that particular service. However, if you're cloud
+has multiple regions available and you need to specify a particular one to use
+a service you can set the *region* option in that service's section.
+
+It should also be noted that the default values for these options are set
+to what devstack uses. (which is a de facto standard for service catalog
+entries) So often nothing actually needs to be set on these options to enable
+communication to a particular service. It is only if you are either not using
+the same *catalog_type* as devstack or you want Tempest to talk to a different
+endpoint type instead of publicURL for a service that these need to be changed.
+
+
+Service feature configuration
+-----------------------------
+
+OpenStack provides its deployers a myriad of different configuration options
+to enable anyone deploying it to create a cloud tailor-made for any individual
+use case. It provides options for several different backend type, databases,
+message queues, etc. However, the downside to this configurability is that
+certain operations and features aren't supported depending on the configuration.
+These features may or may not be discoverable from the API so the burden is
+often on the user to figure out what the cloud they're talking to supports.
+Besides the obvious interoperability issues with this it also leaves Tempest
+in an interesting situation trying to figure out which tests are expected to
+work. However, Tempest tests do not rely on dynamic api discovery for a feature
+(assuming one exists). Instead Tempest has to be explicitly configured as to
+which optional features are enabled. This is in order to prevent bugs in the
+discovery mechanisms from masking failures.
+
+The service feature-enabled config sections are how Tempest addresses the
+optional feature question. Each service that has tests for optional features
+contains one of these sections. The only options in it are boolean options
+with the name of a feature which is used. If it is set to false any test which
+depends on that functionality will be skipped. For a complete list of all these
+options refer to the sample config file.
+
+
+API Extensions
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+The service feature-enabled sections often contain an *api-extensions* option
+(or in the case of swift a *discoverable_apis* option) this is used to tell
+tempest which api extensions (or configurable middleware) is used in your
+deployment. It has 2 valid config states, either it contains a single value
+"all" (which is the default) which means that every api extension is assumed
+to be enabled, or it is set to a list of each individual extension that is
+enabled for that service.
