Object Storage (swift) is a multi-tenant object storage system. It is
|
|
highly scalable, can manage large amounts of unstructured data, and
|
|
provides a RESTful HTTP API.
|
|
|
|
The following procedure describes how to set up storage devices and
|
|
modify the Object Storage configuration files to enable Object Storage
|
|
usage.
|
|
|
|
#. `the section called "Configure and mount storage
|
|
devices" <configure-swift-devices.html>`__
|
|
|
|
#. `the section called "Configure an Object Storage
|
|
deployment" <configure-swift-config.html>`__
|
|
|
|
#. Optionally, allow all Identity users to use Object Storage by setting
|
|
``swift_allow_all_users`` in the ``user_variables.yml`` file to
|
|
``True``. Any users with the ``_member_`` role (all authorized
|
|
Identity (keystone) users) can create containers and upload objects
|
|
to Object Storage.
|
|
|
|
If this value is ``False``, then by default, only users with the
|
|
admin or swiftoperator role are allowed to create containers or
|
|
manage tenants.
|
|
|
|
When the backend type for the Image Service (glance) is set to
|
|
``swift``, the Image Service can access the Object Storage cluster
|
|
regardless of whether this value is ``True`` or ``False``.
