+Distribution support
+====================
+
+Supported distributions
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The list of supported distributions can be found in the
+:deploy_guide:`Deployment Guide <deploymenthost.html>`
+
+Minimum requirements for OpenStack-Ansible roles
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Existing and new distributions are expected to meet the following requirements
+in order for them to be accepted in the individual OpenStack-Ansible roles:
+
+* Pass functional tests
+
+Graduation
+~~~~~~~~~~
+
+For a distribution to be considered supported by the OpenStack-Ansible
+project, it has to meet the following minimum requirements:
+
+* The necessary steps for bootstrapping the operating system have to be
+  documented in the :deploy_guide:`Deployment Guide <index.html>`.
+* The integration repository contains at least one job which passes the
+  Temptest testing framework.
+
+Voting
+~~~~~~
+
+Distributions can be promoted to voting jobs on individual roles once they move
+to the `Graduation` phase and their stability has been confirmed by the core
+OpenStack-Ansible developers. Similar to this, voting can also be enabled in
+the integration repository for all the scenarios or a specific one.
