We have the service catalog functionality in Keystone which provides discovery.
We still need to complete the user story of how a service registers itself; the functionality is available, but not fully documented as a story. The question of ports still remains, though. How do you find Keystone? Options: - Register a port as suggested earlier (that would be a port for the service catalog?) - DNS? SRV record? - convention: 80/8080 (and raise conflicts as an error?) We could also provide some form of proxy functionality if services are running on non-standard portsŠ On 6/27/11 3:01 AM, "Thierry Carrez" <thie...@openstack.org> wrote: >Todd Willey wrote: >> I think people will probably deploy in such a way that clients talk to >> 80 or 443.
