Hello, We recently had interest from some of our enterprise users to use Swift Object Store as the backend for the VM images. I have been researching on a possible integration with OpenNebula but I have some questions.
AFAIK Swift is only Object Store and exposes the object through a REST interface. Is there any plan to add block storage support like Ceph so VMs can use the objects directly? We would love to have the same users and permissions in both OpenNebula and Swift so the management is only done in one place. It seems that the "TempAuth" system is the way to go to perform this authentication. Is it going to be supported in the future or is it going to be dumped in favor of just Keystone? Are the object ACLs stored within Swift? Can I provide the object ACLs from the Auth subsystem (OpenNebula in this case)? I plan to map Swift objects to OpenNebula Images and they already have ACLs in place.
