User Guide¶
The MOSK User Guide is intended for cloud users who consume OpenStack services provided by Mirantis OpenStack for Kubernetes (MOSK). It describes how to access and use these services through OpenStack APIs, command-line tools (CLI), and web-based user interfaces to deploy and manage cloud workloads.
This guide complements, but does not replace, the upstream OpenStack documentation. While upstream documentation provides comprehensive reference material, this guide focuses exclusively on practical usage in a MOSK environment. It avoids architectural discussions and service internals, focusing instead on what cloud users can do and how to do it.
The MOSK User Guide focuses on:
Consuming OpenStack services exposed by MOSK, without requiring knowledge of how those services are implemented
MOSK-specific behavior, integrations, and defaults that affect user-facing workflows
Common, real-world usage scenarios observed across Mirantis customer environments
Task-oriented operations, such as managing instances, authentication, networking, storage, automation, and migrations
The goal of this guide is to help cloud users quickly adopt and efficiently use the MOSK platform, enabling them to run applications and manage resources using familiar OpenStack tools.
