Registered by Dean Troyer

Many operations can be sped up with careful client-side caching of resources that would otherwise require additional server queries.

Whiteboard

Ideally the cache is portable across applications and implementation languages.

The cache must have:

* location: XDG_CACHE_HOME/openstack or ~/.cache/openstack on most distros defaults
* further subdivide using API name? ~/.cache/openstack/compute/xxx
* maintain individual caches for unique endpoint/domain/username combinations (similar to what nova and cinder CLIs do)
* defined TTL rules for expiring data
* a set of built-in commands to manage the cache, i.e. lookup, expire

[Cache portions of https://blueprints.launchpad.net/python-openstackclient/+spec/configuration-file were incorporated here]
