Matt Thompson 06708191d6 Install Guide Cleanup 
This commit does the following:

- sets all shell prompts in code-blocks to the root prompt
- uses shell-session code-block since the shell prompt was being
  treated as a comment
- links configure-aodh.rst in configure.rst (running tox was
  complaining that this file wasn't being linked anywhere)
- other minor cleanup

Configuring the Object Storage service (optional)

configure-swift-overview.rst configure-swift-devices.rst configure-swift-config.rst configure-swift-glance.rst configure-swift-add.rst configure-swift-policies.rst

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.

  1. The section called "Configure and mount storage devices"

  2. The section called "Configure an Object Storage deployment"

  3. 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.
