Gauvain, I think readers will already be familiar with cloud resources before they get to this book. You could point them to (or include) an overview from an existing book - end user guide?

Hi,

I'm working on the HOT guide content and asking myself this question: 
should we assume that the reader is already a cloud user and knows how 
the OS "objects" work (required parameters to boot an instance, to 
create a volume or an image, ...), or should we assume that the reader 
is completely new to cloud computing and OS?

In other words, should we detail what the properties define and what 
are the available values for each heat resource we document, or should 
we assume that the user will know what we're talking about?

My guess is that people will not start using OS with orchestration, and 
thus will understand the samples when they get to this doc.

See https://review.openstack.org/116496 to get an idea of what I have 
in mind (WIP).

Opinions?
