[Openstack] How many Role name can be used in Keystone and what is the use of each role?

2012-03-16 Thread livemoon
I find the roles ( admin, KeystoneAdmin, KeystoneServiceAdmin) are created in devstack. I think each role has it rights to use functions or services. Now I want to know how many roles in keystone can be created and what are use of them . For example, I only want a role only can create/delete

Generally, you would introduce latency in the storage system by using a NAS attached to a storage drive. Also, at scale, your costs will be dominated by drive, so you will want to optimize the storage nodes for dense, cheap storage. --John On Mar 16, 2012, at 8:32 AM, Michaël Van de Borne
