Understanding the DefCore JSON Schema

This folder contains DefCore committee managed files that provide trusted guidance for the OpenStack community.

Assets for each release are tracked in dedicated subdirectories so JSON schema may change per release if needed.

NOTE: Changes to file requires approval of the DefCore committee chair(s).
