Masakari Code Structure

Getting started with any codebase requires some getting used to the layout of the project, this guide is meant to make your journey navigating the code easier. All paths are relative to the repository root.

Code layout

The Python source code for the project can be found in masakari:

• masakari/api contains the api service,

• masakari/engine contains the engine service.

The data model

The oslo objects

The base datamodel can be found in masakari/objects. It uses oslo_versionedobjects.

These objects are used throughout the code, including RPC, REST API and database persistence.

The oslo notifications
