Hi Anne, Thank you very much for sending me the links, they help me immensely. I also know now why I was confused and hence my questions. I headed to the following site for info on "Swift": http://docs.openstack.org/trunk/openstack-object-storage/admin/content/logical-architecture.html
Then I clicked on the pdf icon at the top, which points to a doc dated "Sep 22, 2011", which is what I was reading. Another doc related question. How does one go about finding the Essex related docs from "docs.openstack.org" site. Thank you, Ahmed. ________________________________________ From: [email protected] [[email protected]] On Behalf Of Anne Gentle [[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, September 27, 2012 12:15 PM To: Ahmed Al-Mehdi Cc: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Openstack] Doc on nova-volume Hi Ahmed - Some thoughts below.

I believe the only reference to "Cactus" in the Object Storage Admin Guide is that Glance has been stable since Cactus. Please re-read the sections starting here: For folsom: http://docs.openstack.org/trunk/openstack-object-storage/admin/content/logical-architecture.html For essex: http://docs.openstack.org/essex/openstack-object-storage/admin/content/logical-architecture.html > - I am trying to understand (detail wise) the difference in services > provided by swift (object store) and nova-volume.

Object Storage is Swift, Block storage is Cinder as of the Folsom release. Please read: http://docs.openstack.org/trunk/openstack-object-storage/admin/content/overview-block-storage-arch.html We don't yet have a separate "Block Storage" Admin guide to point to.
