Valence follows the typical OpenStack project setup. The components are listed below:
A pecan based daemon to expose Valence REST APIs. The api service communicates to the controller through AMQP.
valence-controller --------------The controller implements all the handlers for Valence-api. It reads requests from the AMQP queue, process it and send the reponse back to the caller.
valence-ui --------valence-ui provides a GUI interface to invoke Valence APIs.
