   Plugin configurations are sets of parameters that apply across some or all of the plugin procedures. They reduce repetition of common values, create predefined sets of parameters for end users, and store credentials securely. Each configuration has a unique name that is automatically entered in designated parameters in the procedures.
   
   The *Identity Service URL* must have http or https followed by your server hostname or IP address.

  == {CD} integration to OpenStack
  
  The plugin communicates with OpenStack through its application programming interface (API), which provides support for developers who are building interactive clients of OpenStack using a RESTful application development style. The EC-OpenStack plugin allows users to build a cloud by launching images and assigning metadata to instances, providing a more generic interface for managing resources.
  
  The plugin interact with OpenStack through the Compute API and Image API using PERL to perform the following tasks:
  
  * Create configurations with the connection information.
  * Perform actions on machines.
  * Deploy and delete servers.
  * Create and delete key pairs.
  * Create and delete floating IPs.
  * Create {CD} resources.
  * Create, attach, detach, extend, and delete volumes.
  * Create new images.
  * Create a snapshot of a server.
  * Do hard and soft reboots of a server.
  * Deploy, update, and delete HEAT orchestration templates.
  
  This plugin provides two primary actions: Deploy and Cleanup, which work as a pair within a job.
