+.. note:: In this guide we first go through some design and architectural choices_ to build your cloud.
+          Then we dive into a single node quick start guide_ to give you a feel for the installation process. The source installation
+          steps_ are given in the follow-on section for people who want to build their own packages. Otherwise you can use the general installation_
+          which makes use of community maintained package repositories. The rest of the guide goes through the configuration_ of the data-center and
+          the setup of the network_, storage_ and hypervisors_.
