Welcome to Zun’s documentation!¶

What is Zun?¶

Zun is an OpenStack Container service. It aims to provide an API service for running application containers without the need to manage servers or clusters.

It requires the following additional OpenStack services for basic function:

• Keystone
• Neutron
• Kuryr-libnetwork

It can also integrate with other services to include:

• Cinder
• Heat
• Glance

For End Users¶

As an end user of Zun, you’ll use Zun to create and manage containerized workload with either tools or the API directly. All end user (and some administrative) features of Zun are exposed via a REST API, which can be consumed directly. The following resources will help you get started with consuming the API directly.

• API Reference

Alternatively, end users can consume the REST API via various tools or SDKs. These tools are collected below.

• Horizon: The official web UI for the OpenStack Project.
• OpenStack Client: The official CLI for OpenStack Projects.
