The end user facing UI that CloudStack has today is a reference UI. I wouldn't recommend documenting that UI. This UI is constructed to show off CloudStack functionalities rather than from the perspective of how someone would deploy cloudstack and then see their user using cloudstack.
For example, I really cannot see how an end user can see VMs in both advanced zone and basic zone makes sense to a normal end user. --Alex > -----Original Message----- > From: Pranav Saxena [mailto:[email protected]] > Sent: Monday, January 07, 2013 1:06 PM > To: [email protected] > Cc: Radhika Puthiyetath; Jessica Tomechak > Subject: RE: cloudmonkey docs > > Hi Sebastien , > > I was actually about to suggest what you just mentioned.
