Stop generating admin endpoints in the keystone catalog

The admin endpoints offer no special functionality, users may talk to the public endpoints instead. The only historic use case has been the keystone v2 admin endpoint, but with keystone v3 API, even that is no longer needed.

Problem description

Currently we generate admin endpoints for almost all services. As the service catalog is sent to the API user for every transaction, this generates some amount of overhead, as these endpoints aren’t really needed anymore. Dropping them will also reduce the time needed for chef runs.

Proposed change

Drop the admin endpoints from all identity_registration recipes in our cookbooks. This will affect:

  • cookbook-openstack-block-storage

  • cookbook-openstack-compute

  • cookbook-openstack-identity

  • cookbook-openstack-image

  • cookbook-openstack-networking

  • cookbook-openstack-orchestration

  • cookbook-openstack-telemetry

Alternatives

Stick to the status quo.

Data model impact

None

REST API impact

None

Security impact

Deployments that have been using a different admin endpoint with restricted access may need to switch to using the internal endpoint instead.

Notifications impact

None

Other end user impact

None

Performance Impact

The size of the service catalog will be reduced, as well as the duration of chef runs, both with positively impact performance.

Other deployer impact

Deployments that in some way make unexpected use of the admin endpoints will need to be adapted.
