error creating a ServiceClient: %v

Error message

error creating a ServiceClient: %v

What it means

Wraps a failure of openstack.NewDNSV2 in the Designate provider: after authenticating, the DNS V2 service endpoint could not be resolved for the given region — usually the service catalog has no dns entry in that region.
