[openstack-dev] [keystone] role of Domain in VPC definition

Ravi,

It seems that the following Blueprint 
https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Blueprint-aws-vpc-support

has been approved. 

However, I cannot find a discussion with regard to the merit of using project vs. domain, or other mechanism for the implementation.

I have an issue with this approach as it prevents tenants within the same domain sharing the same VPC to have projects.

As an example, if you are a large organization on AWS, it is likely that you have a large VPC that will be shred by multiple projects. With this proposal, we loose that capability, unless I missed something.
