I have found the following pages helpful: http://docs.openstack.org/essex/openstack-compute/admin/content/openstack-architecture-overview.html http://ken.pepple.info/openstack/2011/04/22/openstack-nova-architecture/ http://wiki.openstack.org/GerritWorkflow Also see all of the child pages (via the tree-view pane on the left) of the openstack-architecture-overview.html link above, there are lots of good diagrams with varying levels of detail.
