+Doctor platform components and features
+=======================================
+
+..
+ This section will be compiled into OPNFV composite document.
+
+https://wiki.opnfv.org/doctor
+
+Features
+--------
+
+Doctor platform, as of Brahmaputra release, provides the two features:
+
+* Immediate Notification
+* Consistent resource state awareness (Compute/host-down)
+
+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.
+Consistency of resource state is necessary to properly execute recovery
+actions properly in the VIM.
+
+Components

+
+Doctor platform, as of Brahmaputra release, consists of the following
+components:
+
+* OpenStack Compute (Nova)
+* OpenStack Telemetry (Ceilometer)
