I wonder if you might be targeting the wrong audience by going to the

The aim is cloud storage that isn't affected by a host failure and major
players who deploy hyper-scaling clouds architect them to prevent that from
happening. To me that's cloud 101. Physical machine goes down, data
disappears, VM's using it fail and folks scratch their head and ask this

I'm not sure of any particular benefit to trying to run cinder volumes over
swift, and I'm a little confused by the aim - you'd do better to use
something closer to purpose designed for the job if you want software fault
tolerant block storage - ceph and drdb are the two open-source options I
know
Hi everyone,
Got some questions for whether certain use cases have been addressed and if
so, where things are at. A few things I find particularly interesting:
- Automatic Nova evacuation for VM's using shared storage
- Using Swift as a back-end for Cinder
I know we discussed Nova evacuate
