Hi, (this is for pebbles)
Currently, we have nice automatic DNS entries created in bind on the admin node for the different nodes. This means that we get, for instance, a public.d52-54-00-fa-12-cb.$domain DNS entry for the d52-54-00-fa-12-cb. However, in the past, with SUSE Cloud 1.0, we realized that these DNS entries were not always published externally and that, therefore, they cannot always be relied on. This is not necessarily a big deal, except that with SSL support that we're adding, we will want to change the endpoints registered in keystone to use hostnames instead of IP addresses. The reason for that is simply that SSL certificates are usually associated to hostnames, not IP addresses, and so we want that to have the validation work fine. What we did in SUSE Cloud 1.0 was to add an optional attribute to each node, which is the public hostname of the node. Simply put, this is the DNS entry that is published externally; some people do that manually. So when this is available, we would use $PUBLIC_HOSTNAME instead of public.d52-54-00-fa-12-cb.$domain as endpoint. (And when no SSL is used, we keep using the IP address for the endpoint, since that won't cause any issue in that case). It's really a trivial patch to barclamp-crowbar, and then updating each openstack barclamp registering endpoints to use that. Any objection?
