+# Constraints
+
+This directory holds the pip constraints used by the different testing
+environments used by Charmed OpenStack.
+
+It's worth emphasize that these constraints are used for testing environments,
+that means used in tox.ini files, but never to build charms.
+
+## Naming scheme
+
+The constraints files follow the following nomenclature:
+
+    constraints-$RELEASE.txt
+    
+`$RELEASE` represents the OpenStack release, with the special exception of
+`master` that's used to apply constraints to the `master` and `main` branches.
+
+For example for the case of OpenStack 2023.1 (Antelope), the constraints file
+would be named `constraints-2023.1.txt`.
