+Platform overview
+"""""""""""""""""
+
+Doctor platform provides these features since `Danube Release <https://wiki.opnfv.org/display/SWREL/Danube>`_:
+
+* Immediate Notification
+* Consistent resource state awareness for compute host down
+* Valid compute host status given to VM owner
+
+These features enable high availability of Network Services on top of
+the virtualized infrastructure. Immediate notification allows VNF managers
+(VNFM) to process recovery actions promptly once a failure has occurred.
+Same framework can also be utilized to have VNFM awareness about
+infrastructure maintenance.
+
+Consistency of resource state is necessary to execute recovery actions
+properly in the VIM.
+
+Ability to query host status gives VM owner the possibility to get
+consistent state information through an API in case of a compute host
+fault.
+
+The Doctor platform consists of the following components:
+
+* OpenStack Compute (Nova)
+* OpenStack Networking (Neutron)
+* OpenStack Telemetry (Ceilometer)
+* OpenStack Alarming (AODH)
+* Doctor Sample Inspector, OpenStack Congress or OpenStack Vitrage
+* Doctor Sample Monitor or any monitor supported by Congress or Vitrage
+
+.. note::
+ Doctor Sample Monitor is used in Doctor testing. However in real
+ implementation like Vitrage, there are several other monitors supported.
+
+You can see an overview of the Doctor platform and how components interact in
+:numref:`figure-p1`.
+
+
+Maintenance use case provides these features since `Iruya Release <https://wiki.opnfv.org/display/SWREL/Iruya>`_:
+
+* Infrastructure maintenance and upgrade workflow
+* Interaction between VNFM and infrastructe workflow
+
+Since `Jerma Release <https://wiki.opnfv.org/display/SWREL/Jerma>`_ maintenance
+use case also supports 'ETSI FEAT03' implementation to have the infrastructure
+maintenance and upgrade fully optimized while keeping zero impact on VNF
+service.
