The service name is actually irrelevant from a technical point of view. It is maintained for deployer configuration and is often used just for branding purposes. It is the service type that should uniquely identify a service in the catalog. > The overall suggestion is to use a word/phrase that indicates what a > service do instead of the name of the project providing that service. Correct, this is the service type. > [2] Octavia service naming: > http://git.openstack.org/cgit/openstack/octavia/tree/devstack/plugin.sh#n52 This points to Octavia's DevStack plugin configuration, which is by no means authoritative. There was a beginning of a service catalog type registry [3] that has not gone beyond an initial proposal. Sean Dague recently revived this and I believe it will be discussed next week at the PTG. dt [3] https://git.openstack.org/cgit/openstack/service-types-authority -- Dean Troyer dtro...@gmail.com __________________________________________________________________________ OpenStack Development Mailing List (not for usage questions) Unsubscribe: openstack-dev-requ...@lists.openstack.org?subject:unsubscribe http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack-dev
