OpenStack Swift

Swift is a highly available, distributed, eventually consistent object/blob store. Organizations can use Swift to store lots of data efficiently, safely, and cheaply.

Sample pillars

Swift proxy server

swift:
  common:
    enabled: true
    version: kilo
    swift_hash_path_suffix: hash
    swift_hash_path_prefix: hash
  proxy:
    version: kilo
    enabled: true
    bind:
      address: 0.0.0.0
      port: 8080
    identity:
      engine: keystone
      host: 127.0.0.1
      port: 35357
      user: swift
      password: pwd
      tenant: service

Swift storage server

swift:
  common:
    version: kilo
    enabled: true
    swift_hash_path_suffix: hash
    swift_hash_path_prefix: hash
  object:
    enabled: true
    version: kilo
    bind:
      address: 0.0.0.0
      port: 6000
  container:
    enabled: true
    version: kilo
    bind:
      address: 0.0.0.0
      port: 6001
  account:
    enabled: true
    version: kilo
    bind:
      address: 0.0.0.0
      port: 6002
