Deployment is an object managed by deployment engine, while Endpoint can refer to existing installation which has nothing to do with deployment engine. It means that different sets of operations are applicable to those entities. What do you think?

Yep, you are right. It's very usefull because currently there is an DummyEngine which does nothing, just returns an endpoint. So, an Endpoint should be an entity that represents an installed OpenStack and contains an endpoint and credentials. In this case the deployment process should be changed. As a result of the deployment process an instance of an Endpoint will created. To start a Task an instance of an Endpoint should be passed.
