##### SUMMARY
<!-- Explain the problem/feature briefly -->
The documentation for plugins only mentions [Storage Plugins](https://docs.cloudstack.apache.org/en/latest/developersguide/plugins.html#storage-plugins) but not anything else. Is writing plugins for other components, e.g. network possible? I need to be able to limit the number of **public** ipv4's a user can have across their instances, and was wondering whether the plugin system would be able to provide such capability? If so, the plugins section could provide some more information on development/usage.
Getting around such a large code base would be very time-consuming for new users who would want to develop specific features fit for their use case, and adding such documentation is certainly a big help.

@HosseinMirjalali , the documentation could certainly be improved on these points.
Have a look at https://github.com/shapeblue/hackerbook/ . It might be a bit daunting and much as an answer to your question, but a lot less then just diving into the code. And it does contain some of the answers for sure.
Also feel free to add to the documentation .
