+Resource creation
+-------------------------
+
+Tempest requires some openstack resources(like flavors and images) in order to
+function properly.
+It is possible to choose which resources should be created or to skip resource
+creation at all.
+Below example shows how to use already existing public network and images.

+features:
+  - Implemented variables ``tempest_public_net_create``, ``tempest_private_net_create``, ``tempest_router_create``, ``tempest_images_create``, ``tempest_flavors_create``, ``tempest_projects_create`` which allow to skip creating specific resources.
+upgrade:
+  - Changed default value for ``tempest_projects`` variable. Now this list contains only one element 'tempest'. Previously it was 'demo' and 'alt_demo' which was quite confusing.
