Add history behind why keystone has two ports
As I was review the documentation migration patches, I noticed an opportunity to add a section detailing why keystone can be run on two separate ports. Change-Id: I6b009a5fed09614b41b59b8d6313ce098bb696c3

Why do I see deployments with Keystone running on two ports?
|
||||
============================================================
|
||||
|
||||
During development of the v2.0 API, operational functionality was isolated into
|
||||
different applications within the project. One application was dedicated to
|
||||
end-user functionality and its sole purpose was to authenticate and validate
|
||||
user identities. The second application consisted of more features and allowed
|
||||
operators the ability to manage their deployment by adding or deleting users,
|
||||
creating projects, etc. These applications were referred to as the ``public``
|
||||
and ``admin`` APIs, respectively. This deployment model was required by the
|
||||
architecture of the v2.0 API. In a way, authorization was limited to the
|
||||
application you had access to.
|
||||
|
||||
Once development began on the v3 API, the code paths for both applications were
|
||||
merged into one. Instead of isolating functionality into separate applications,
|
||||
all functionality was consolidated into a single application. Each v3 endpoint
|
||||
or API is protected by policy instead. This makes deployment and management of
|
||||
Keystone's infrastructure easier for operators to deploy and for users to
|
||||
consume. As a result, Keystone deployments interested in only the v3 API are
|
||||
not required to deploy separate ``admin`` and ``public`` endpoints.
