The list of URLs comes from what we have historically done at Rackspace and the 
conversations had in OpenStack about a management/admin API.

I agree that not all services need those three. And some may want to create 
additional ones. You mention "type" below. Not to be confused with the 
serviceType (like compute, identity, image-service, object-store, etc...). Are 
you proposing an EndpointType (maybe admin, public, private, etc..)?

That does seem like a more flexible approach.

It would help to have some well-known types, such as:
- public: Internet-accessible
- admin: private, with elevated-privilege calls available
- internal: provides a high bandwidth, low latency, unmetered endpoint

Thoughts?

It should require/accept the number of URLs that is required by the type of 
service one is adding. For example, swift only has public and localnet storage 
URLs. No admin URL.
So, regardless if one is using keystone-manage or not (not sure what else one 
can use, Rest calls maybe ? ),  it should only accept what the service type 
requires.


case type:

swift)
try
    endpointTemplate add [region] [service] [public_url] [internal_url] 
[enabled] [is_global]
except
"Failed with improper number of arguments"
show_some_help()

nova)

keystone)

another-service)

Can you provide an example?

I think you're asserting that you'd like the keystone-manage command to not 
require 3 different URLs when they don't exist separately, is that correct?

Well, If you need to specify a "type" when adding an endpointTemplate, then 
keystone should be smart enough to identify the type given and only accept the 
number of  URLs needed for such type of service.

That's just what it sees today - the only one of the service endpoints that 
uses all three (right now anyway) is Keystone itself. Can you share a different 
pattern that you're interested in seeing supported?

What makes keystone assume that all types of services will have " [public_url] 
[admin_url] [internal_url] "?
