initial code repo
This patch creates initial code repo. For ceph, luminous stable release will be used for base code, and next changes and optimization for ceph will be added to it. For opensds, currently any changes can be upstreamed into original opensds repo (https://github.com/opensds/opensds), and so stor4nfv will directly clone opensds code to deploy stor4nfv environment. And the scripts for deployment based on ceph and opensds will be put into 'ci' directory. Change-Id: I46a32218884c75dda2936337604ff03c554648e4 Signed-off-by: Qiaowei Ren <qiaowei.ren@intel.com>

+restful plugin
+==============
+
+RESTful plugin offers the REST API access to the status of the cluster
+over an SSL-secured connection.
+
+Enabling
+--------
+
+The *restful* module is enabled with::
+
+ ceph mgr module enable restful
+
+You will also need to configure an SSL certificate below before the
+API endpoint is available. By default the module will accept HTTPS
+requests on port ``8003`` on all IPv4 and IPv6 addresses on the host.
+
+Securing
+--------
+
+All connections to *restful* are secured with SSL. You can generate a
+self-signed certificate with the command::
+
+ ceph restful create-self-signed-cert
+
+Note that with a self-signed certificate most clients will need a flag
+to allow a connection and/or suppress warning messages. For example,
+if the ``ceph-mgr`` daemon is on the same host,::
+
+ curl -k https://localhost:8003/
+
+To properly secure a deployment, a certificate that is signed by the
+organization's certificate authority should be used. For example, a key pair
+can be generated with a command similar to::
+
+ openssl req -new -nodes -x509 \
+ -subj "/O=IT/CN=ceph-mgr-restful" \
+ -days 3650 -keyout restful.key -out restful.crt -extensions v3_ca
+
+The ``restful.crt`` should then be signed by your organization's CA
+(certificate authority). Once that is done, you can set it with::
+
+ ceph config-key set mgr/restful/$name/crt -i restful.crt
+ ceph config-key set mgr/restful/$name/key -i restful.key
+
+where ``$name`` is the name of the ``ceph-mgr`` instance (usually the
+hostname). If all manager instances are to share the same certificate,
+you can leave off the ``$name`` portion::
+
+ ceph config-key set mgr/restful/crt -i restful.crt
+ ceph config-key set mgr/restful/key -i restful.key
+
+
+Configuring IP and port
+-----------------------
+
+Like any other RESTful API endpoint, *restful* binds to an IP and
+port. By default, the currently active ``ceph-mgr`` daemon will bind
+to port 8003 and any available IPv4 or IPv6 address on the host.
+
+Since each ``ceph-mgr`` hosts its own instance of *restful*, it may
+also be necessary to configure them separately. The IP and port
+can be changed via the configuration key facility::
+
+ ceph config-key set mgr/restful/$name/server_addr $IP
+ ceph config-key set mgr/restful/$name/server_port $PORT
+
+where ``$name`` is the ID of the ceph-mgr daemon (usually the hostname).
+
+These settings can also be configured cluster-wide and not manager
+specific. For example,::
+
+ ceph config-key set mgr/restful/server_addr $IP
+ ceph config-key set mgr/restful/server_port $PORT
+
+If the port is not configured, *restful* will bind to port ``8003``.
+If the address it not configured, the *restful* will bind to ``::``,
+which corresponds to all available IPv4 and IPv6 addresses.
+
+Load balancer
+-------------
+
+Please note that *restful* will *only* start on the manager which
+is active at that moment. Query the Ceph cluster status to see which
+manager is active (e.g., ``ceph mgr dump``). In order to make the
+API available via a consistent URL regardless of which manager
+daemon is currently active, you may want to set up a load balancer
+front-end to direct traffic to whichever manager endpoint is
+available.
