Hi.
One simplification would be:
openstack coe create/list/show/config/update
openstack coe template create/list/show/update
openstack coe ca show/sign
This covers all the required commands and is a bit less verbose. The
cluster word is too generic and probably adds no useful info.
Whatever it is, kerberos support for the magnum client is very much
needed and welcome! :)
Cheers,
Ricardo
