Re: [Openstack] [OpenStack] Images need to be stored in Glance or SWIFT?

Hi, 
it depends basically on what you are looking for - you can store the images in both,  but Swift is more of an project aimed to propose and high-available and high-tolerant object store. Not saying that Glance doesn't do that - but Glance is more of a repository actually

Ok, got some info at http://docs.openstack.org/diablo/openstack-image-service/admin/content/configuring-the-swift-storage-backend.html.

Looks like Glance supports multiple storage backends (Filesystem storage being the default) and it can be configured to use SWIFT. So then SWIFT is a complementary project for OpenStack and not really an absolute requirement!

Hi,

The OpenStack Installation document at http://docs.openstack.org/folsom/basic-install/content/ as well as the guide at https://github.com/mseknibilel/OpenStack-Folsom-Install-guide/blob/master/OpenStack_Folsom_Install_Guide_WebVersion.rst   do not talk about installing SWIFT. And in my setup (going by the install guide in git), I see that the images are stored in Glance. How does SWIFT come in to the picture, my understanding was that the Images will be stored in SWIFT and Glance is a catalog only.

Can some one throw some light on how to use SWIFT? I need to create a multi site storage for Images and SWIFT can perhaps help me with it.

Balu
