Chapter 2. Key Red Hat CloudForms Features for OpenStack Cloud Providers

Red Hat CloudForms provides several interface features specific to OpenStack cloud providers:

When adding an OpenStack cloud provider, you can also:

  • Enable tenant mapping. This creates a one-to-one association between tenants in CloudForms and OpenStack.
  • Connect to OpenStack through the Keystone V3 API. This API enables multiple OpenStack identity domains. Domains are high-level containers for projects, users, and groups. Users of different domains can be represented in different authentication back ends.

For information about tenant mapping and the Keystone V3 API, see Chapter 5, Adding an OpenStack Cloud Provider.
