In one case horizon uses region to refer to completelely seperate clouds. +1 for coming up with a different term for that concept.

Thanks,
Kevin

Hi!

I understand what the Keystone region represents: a simple,
non-geographically-connotated division of the entire OpenStack deployment.

Unfortunately, I don't know what the Horizon regions represent. Could
