Andreas Jaeger 2f173bba56 Revert "Update OpenStack Installation Tutorial to Rocky"
The change is wrong. We link on purpose to the unversioned version and update that one once rocky is released.

This reverts commit e771ae9e95773ae33f9f9b04250553103cbd6261.

Infrastructure Optimization service

get_started.rst install.rst verify.rst next-steps.rst

The Infrastructure Optimization service (watcher) provides flexible and scalable resource optimization service for multi-tenant OpenStack-based clouds.

Watcher provides a complete optimization loop including everything from a metrics receiver, complex event processor and profiler, optimization processor and an action plan applier. This provides a robust framework to realize a wide range of cloud optimization goals, including the reduction of data center operating costs, increased system performance via intelligent virtual machine migration, increased energy efficiency—and more!

Watcher also supports a pluggable architecture by which custom optimization algorithms, data metrics and data profilers can be developed and inserted into the Watcher framework.

Check the documentation for watcher optimization strategies at https://docs.openstack.org/watcher/latest/strategies/index.html

Check watcher glossary at https://docs.openstack.org/watcher/latest/glossary.html

This chapter assumes a working setup of OpenStack following the OpenStack Installation Tutorial.
