+Batch Upgrade Steps
+-------------------
+
+Each service template may optionally define a `upgrade_batch_tasks` key, which
+is a list of ansible tasks to be performed during the upgrade process.
+
+Similar to the step_config, we allow a series of steps for the per-service
+upgrade sequence, defined as ansible tasks with a tag e.g "step1" for the first
+step, "step2" for the second, etc. Note that each step is performed in batches,
+then we move on to the next step which is also performed in batches (we don't
+perform all steps on one node, then move on to the next one which means you
+can sequence rolling upgrades of dependent services via the step value).
+
+The tasks performed at each step is service specific, but note that all batch
+upgrade steps are performed before the `upgrade_tasks` described below. This
+means that all services that support rolling upgrades can be upgraded without
+downtime during `upgrade_batch_tasks`, then any remaining services are stopped
+and upgraded during `upgrade_tasks`
+
+The default batch size is 1, but this can be overridden for each role via the
+`upgrade_batch_size` option in roles_data.yaml

+Nova Server Metadata Settings
+-----------------------------
+
+One can use the hook of type `OS::TripleO::ServiceServerMetadataHook` to pass
+entries to the nova instances' metadata. It is, however, disabled by default.
+In order to overwrite it one needs to define it in the resource registry. An
+implementation of this hook needs to conform to the following:
+
+* It needs to define an input called `RoleData` of json type. This gets as
+ input the contents of the `role_data` for each role's ServiceChain.
+
+* This needs to define an output called `metadata` which will be given to the
+ Nova Server resource as the instance's metadata.
