Kamaki comes with preset default values to all configuration options. All vital configurion options are set to use the okeanos.grnet.gr cloud services. User information is not included and should be provided either through the kamaki config command or by editing the configuration file.

Kamaki configuration options are vital for correct Kamaki behavior. An incorrect option may render some command groups disfunctional. There are two ways of managing configuration options: edit the config file or use the kamaki config command.

The [global] group is treated by kamaki as a generic group for arbitary options, and it is used as a super-group for vital Kamaki options like account, token, or url. For example if global.account option is set and store.account option is not set, store services will use the global.account option instead. In case of conflict, the most specific options overide the global ones.
