Recently a colleague asked me whether their key pair from one of our deployment zones would be usable in another deployment zone. His identity credentials are shared between the two zones (we use a shared identity database) and was wondering if the key pairs were also shared.

I responded that no, they were not, because Nova, not Keystone, manages key pairs. But that got me thinking.... is it time to change this?

Key pairs really are an element of identity/authentication, and not specific to OpenStack Compute. Has there been any talk of moving the key pair management API out of Nova and into Keystone?

Thanks!
