The following changes must be made to the Managing Providers guide: * Add an introductory block before the first chapter to provide a basic description of what a provider is in CloudForms, and the different major types (Compute, Configuration Management, Networking) * Use a standard introduction to each chapter on provider types. - Basic introductory paragraph to the type that follows the same style. - Overview of the thumbnail for that type, similar to that in the opening to the chapter on infrastructure providers but in its own section. - Methods by which providers can be added - individually or via discovery for infrastructure and cloud, individually for all others. * Add a procedure on discovering cloud providers to the chapter on cloud providers.
Assigning to Dayle for review. Dayle - nothing above is written in stone, and by all means let me know if you notice anything else along the way that might be a good one for us to address at the same time.
