I've added Keycloak AS7 modules to UPS cart but not admin console. I believe
that Keycloak is SaaS, so usage with two different carts reflect reality better.
Configuring Keycloak cart once and let all other carts use is seems the right

That is great improvement w.r.t. current situation but does not handle OpenShift
cart scenarios.
