Hi, Jay!

As Doug said, Horizon regions are just different Keystone endpoints that
Horizon could use to authorize against (and retrieve the whole catalog from
any of them afterwards).

Another example of how complicated things could be: imagine that Horizon
config has two Keystone endpoints inside AVAILABLE_REGIONS setting,
http://keystone.europe and http://keystone.asia, each of them hosting a
different catalog with service endpoint pointing to Europe/Asia located
services. For European Keystone all Europe-based services are marked as
'RegionOne', for Asian Keystone all its Asia-based services are marked as
'RegionOne'. Then, imagine that each Keystone also has 'RegionTwo' region,
for European Keystone the Asian services are marked so, for Asian Keystone
the opposite is true. One of customers did roughly the same thing (with
both Keystones using common LDAP backend), and understanding what exactly
in Horizon didn't work well was a puzzling experience.
