Alternate methods of retrieving configuration information

[Kevin L. Mitchell]

Currently, the only way to provide configuration for a project consuming oslo.config is to write a configuration file. However, there are services that exist that can store configuration in a multi-platform fashion, such as etcd. The enhancement suggestion here is to allow configuration loading to use a plugin. We could use a URI-like syntax for specifying the location of the configuration, so a raw path or a file: URI would use the currently existing file loading scheme, and other configuration plugins could be specified using an entrypoint keyed off the URI scheme

This comes up from time to time, and we've had some blueprints and specs proposed but the work was never done. We should probably track it as a blueprint, rather than a bug, since it's a new feature.
