At CERN, we're running cells for scalability. When you go over 1000 hypervisors 
or so, the general recommendation is to be in a cells configuration.

Cells are quite complex and the full functionality is not there yet so some 
parts will need to wait for Havana.

Subject: [Openstack] Cells use cases

Hello all,
I've really interested in  cells but unfortunately i can't find any useful use 
cases of them.
For instance I have 4 DCs and I need single entry point for them. In this case 
cells are  a bit complicated  solution. It's better to use multiple regions in 
keystone instead

The only one good reason for cells, which I've found, is to organize so-called 
failure domains, i.e. scheduling on another DCs in case of failures.

Does anyone have different use cases or vision on cells usage?
Thanks in advance.
