Hi Pat, Yes - it definitely could be. If you're setting up keystone in an HA configuration, then I'd expect that you actually have a mysql cluster backing the database that could allow a single instance of mysql to fail and maintain services. Keystone, like Nova, Glance, etc is stashing it's state somewhere - the WSGI processes that run keystone have moved that to MySQL, so MySQL is the place where you need to watch and care for. Many implementations of OpenStack that I've seen have shared the MySQL instance between keystone, nova, and glance, and quite successfully. If you were using LDAP entirely for the backend instead of the SQL backed mechanisms, then you'd need a replicated/failover cluster for LDAP as well. -joe > On Mon, 27 Aug 2012 09:46:41 -0700, Joseph Heck wrote >> Hi Pat, >> >> On Aug 27, 2012, at 8:09 AM, pat <p...@xvalheru.org> wrote: >>> I have two questions regarding OpenStack Keystone: >>> >>> Q1) The Folsom release supports domains.
