Jean-Philippe Evrard 14ae5a8b64 [Docs] Promote scale the environment
Scale the environment deserves its own chapter.
On top of that, the managing swift section is
about how scaling is done with swift clusters
(Multi-Region handling), and therefore should
be moved into scaling the environment.

Accessibility for multi-region Object Storage
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In multi-region Object Storage utilizing separate database backends, objects
are retrievable from an alternate location if the ``default_project_id``
for a user in the keystone database is the same across each database
backend.
.. important::
It is recommended to perform the following steps before a failure
occurs to avoid having to dump and restore the database.
If a failure does occur, follow these steps to restore the database
from the Primary (failed) Region:
#. Record the Primary Region output of the ``default_project_id`` for
the specified user from the user table in the keystone database:
.. note::
The user is ``admin`` in this example.
.. code::
# mysql -e "SELECT default_project_id from keystone.user WHERE \
name='admin';"
+----------------------------------+
| default_project_id |
+----------------------------------+
| 76ef6df109744a03b64ffaad2a7cf504 |
+-----------------—————————————————+
#. Record the Secondary Region output of the ``default_project_id``
for the specified user from the user table in the keystone
database:
.. code::
# mysql -e "SELECT default_project_id from keystone.user WHERE \
name='admin';"
+----------------------------------+
| default_project_id |
+----------------------------------+
| 69c46f8ad1cf4a058aa76640985c |
+----------------------------------+
#. In the Secondary Region, update the references to the
``project_id`` to match the ID from the Primary Region:
.. code::
# export PRIMARY_REGION_TENANT_ID="76ef6df109744a03b64ffaad2a7cf504"
# export SECONDARY_REGION_TENANT_ID="69c46f8ad1cf4a058aa76640985c"
# mysql -e "UPDATE keystone.assignment set \
target_id='${PRIMARY_REGION_TENANT_ID}' \
WHERE target_id='${SECONDARY_REGION_TENANT_ID}';"
# mysql -e "UPDATE keystone.user set \
default_project_id='${PRIMARY_REGION_TENANT_ID}' WHERE \
default_project_id='${SECONDARY_REGION_TENANT_ID}';"
# mysql -e "UPDATE keystone.project set \
id='${PRIMARY_REGION_TENANT_ID}' WHERE \
id='${SECONDARY_REGION_TENANT_ID}';"
The user in the Secondary Region now has access to objects PUT in the
Primary Region. The Secondary Region can PUT objects accessible by the
user in the Primary Region.
