Defining regions
A region can be considered as an independent, full deployment of OpenStack services. It might include its own running network, storage, API endpoints, and compute resources. Nova services can be fully installed in more than one region. At this high level, an OpenStack environment can scale its compute power in a multi-region setup by leveraging more compute and Nova API endpoints. The following diagram exposes a possible multi-region Nova setup for OpenStack. The key benefit of this design is to simplify the compute advertisement endpoints across all regions by sharing the same identity service. That would help operators to consolidate all authentications calls through one interface, shown as follows:
