Greetings, Every OpenStack program is supposed to have a mission statement. The Compute program does not have one yet [1]. Here is a first attempt at it. Let me know what you think. To implement services and associated libraries to provide massively scalable, on demand, self service access to compute resources, including both virtual machines and containers.
