 Availability
 ************
 
-It is currently installed in the `Ubuntu Cloud Images`_ and also in the official `Ubuntu`_ images available on EC2, Azure, GCE and many other clouds.
+Below outlines the current availability of cloud-init across
+distributions and clouds, both public and private.
+
+.. note::
+
+    If a distribution or cloud does not show up in the list below contact
+    them and ask for images to be generated using cloud-init!
 
-Versions for other systems can be (or have been) created for the following distributions:
+Distributions
+=============
+
+Cloud-init has support across all major Linux distributions and
+FreeBSD:
 
 - Ubuntu
+- SLES/openSUSE
+- RHEL/CentOS
 - Fedora
+- Gentoo Linux
 - Debian
-- RHEL
-- CentOS
-- *and more...*
+- ArchLinux
+- FreeBSD
+
+Clouds
+======
+
+Cloud-init provides support across a wide ranging list of execution
+environments in the public cloud:
+
+- Amazon Web Services
+- Microsoft Azure
+- Google Cloud Platform
+- Oracle Cloud Infrastructure
+- Softlayer
+- Rackspace Public Cloud
+- IBM Cloud
+- Digital Ocean
+- Bigstep
+- Hetzner
+- Joyent
+- CloudSigma
+- Alibaba Cloud
+- OVH
+- OpenNebula
+- Exoscale
+- Scaleway
+- CloudStack
+- AltCloud
+- SmartOS
 
-So ask your distribution provider where you can obtain an image with it built-in if one is not already available ☺
+Additionally, cloud-init is supported on these private clouds:
 
+- Bare metal installs
+- OpenStack
+- LXD
+- KVM
+- Metal-as-a-Service (MAAS)

 Datasources
 ***********
 
-What is a datasource?
-=====================
-
 Datasources are sources of configuration data for cloud-init that typically
-come from the user (aka userdata) or come from the stack that created the
-configuration drive (aka metadata). Typical userdata would include files,
+come from the user (e.g. userdata) or come from the cloud that created the
+configuration drive (e.g. metadata). Typical userdata would include files,
 yaml, and shell scripts while typical metadata would include server name,
-instance id, display name and other cloud specific details. Since there are
-multiple ways to provide this data (each cloud solution seems to prefer its
-own way) internally a datasource abstract class was created to allow for a
-single way to access the different cloud systems methods to provide this data
-through the typical usage of subclasses.
-
-Any metadata processed by cloud-init's datasources is persisted as
-``/run/cloud-init/instance-data.json``. Cloud-init provides tooling
-to quickly introspect some of that data. See :ref:`instance_metadata` for
-more information.

+
+- Build the documentation using sphinx
+- Run doc8 against the documentation source code

+Once build the HTML files will be viewable in ``doc/rtd_html``. Use your

+
+Style Guide
+===========
+
+Headings
+--------
+The headings used across the documentation use the following hierarchy:
+
+- ``*****``: used once atop of a new page
+- ``=====``: each sections on the page
+- ``-----``: subsections
+- ``^^^^^``: sub-subsections
+- ``"""""``: paragraphs
+
+The top level header ``######`` is reserved for the first page.
+
+If under and overline are used, their length must be identical. The length of
+the underline must be at least as long as the title itself
+
+Line Length
+-----------
+Please keep the line lengths to a maximum of **79** characters. This ensures
+that the pages and tables do not get too wide that side scrolling is required.
+
+Header
+------
+Adding a link at the top of the page allows for the page to be referenced by
+other pages. For example for the FAQ page this would be:
+
+.. code-block:: rst
+
+    .. _faq:
+
+Footer
+------
+The footer should include the textwidth
+
+.. code-block:: rst
+
+    .. vi: textwidth=79
+
+Vertical Whitespace
+-------------------
+One newline between each section helps ensure readability of the documentation
+source code.
+
+Common Words
+------------
+There are some common words that should follow specific usage:
+
+- ``cloud-init``: always lower case with a hyphen, unless starting a sentence
+  in which case only the 'C' is capitalized (e.g. ``Cloud-init``).
+- ``metadata``: one word
+- ``user data``: two words, not to be combined
+- ``vendor data``: like user data, it is two words
