Open Stack

I think I want to distinguish my original proposal for Federation from 
what the Kent folks have proposed.  I think both proposals are valuable, 
and server different needs.

What I was doing was really making it possible for Keystone to work in a 
delegated manner, with a Keystone server dedicated to serving each 
domain separately (simplification ,but conceptually correct). This is 
more of an incremental approach.

The Kent approach is truly Federated, and thus should carry forward with 
that name.

The Federation session at the Summit will cover both, but should be 
focused on the Kent approach. The PKI future session is essential to the 
delegation approach, and will cover it in more detail.

I've changed the existing Federation blueprint to Delegation:

With the full write up of the spec here:

I've registered the Federation Blueprint as

I'd appreciate the Kent taking ownership of the  Federation Blueprint 
moving forward.
