The document introduces the OpenStack App Catalog, which allows users to easily deploy workloads in OpenStack with pre-defined assets like Murano app packages, Glance images, and Heat templates. It provides instructions on how to add assets to the catalog such as creating Glance images using diskimage-builder or writing Heat templates. The document encourages contributors to get involved with building out the catalog's capabilities and community.
