-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi Ignacio,
yes we are running glusterfs for the image store and cinder. GlusterFS for Swift is .... not really the recommended idea. Swift service allows you to scale without a cluster or shared file system. We are using glusterfs, instead of swift, for the image store because swift is running on top of openstack. Otherwise you can use swift as a good storage backend. Glance => If possible to Swift => If not glusterFS/ceph or whatever Cinder => you can choose some drivers, we are using glusterFS as backend driver. Swift => storage nodes should be standalone bare metal servers and you will reach the best performance. Your proxy servers can be fire up somewhere.
