## What it is
Horizon is the official OpenStack Dashboard, a Django-based web application for managing OpenStack cloud services through a browser. It also provides an extensible framework for building custom dashboards from reusable components.

## Use cases
- manage openstack cloud resources from a web ui
- build a custom admin dashboard for openstack services
- give cloud users a self-service portal for vms and networks
- extend an existing openstack dashboard with new panels
- web interface for keystone nova neutron cinder

## When to choose
- you run an OpenStack deployment and need its standard web console
- you want a Django-based framework to build dashboards over OpenStack APIs
- you need RBAC-integrated cloud administration UI

## When to avoid
- you are not using OpenStack - it is tightly coupled to OpenStack APIs
- you need a lightweight standalone cloud console
- you want a modern SPA frontend rather than server-rendered Django
