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.
