OpenStack Swift

Swift is a highly available, distributed, eventually consistent object/blob store. Organizations can use Swift to store lots of data efficiently, safely, and cheaply.

Sample pillars

Swift proxy server

swift:
  common:
    cache:
      engine: memcached
      members:
      - host: 127.0.0.1
        port: 11211
      - host: 127.0.0.1
        port: 11211
    enabled: true
    version: kilo
    swift_hash_path_suffix: hash
    swift_hash_path_prefix: hash
  proxy:
    version: kilo
    enabled: true
    bind:
      address: 0.0.0.0
      port: 8080
    identity:
      engine: keystone
      host: 127.0.0.1
      port: 35357
      user: swift
      password: pwd
      tenant: service

Swift storage server

swift:
  common:
    cache:
      engine: memcached
      members:
      - host: 127.0.0.1
        port: 11211
      - host: 127.0.0.1
        port: 11211
    version: kilo
    enabled: true
    swift_hash_path_suffix: hash
    swift_hash_path_prefix: hash
  object:
    enabled: true
    version: kilo
    bind:
      address: 0.0.0.0
      port: 6000
  container:
    enabled: true
    version: kilo
    allow_versions: true
    bind:
      address: 0.0.0.0
      port: 6001
  account:
    enabled: true
    version: kilo
    bind:
      address: 0.0.0.0
      port: 6002

To enable object versioning feature

swift:
  ....
  container:
    ....
    allow_versions: true
    ....

Ring builder

parameters:
  swift:
    ring_builder:
      enabled: true
      rings:
        - name: default
          partition_power: 9
          replicas: 3
          hours: 1
          region: 1
          devices:
            - address: ${_param:storage_node01_address}
              device: vdb
            - address: ${_param:storage_node02_address}
              device: vdc
            - address: ${_param:storage_node03_address}
              device: vdd
        - partition_power: 9
          replicas: 2
          hours: 1
          region: 1
          devices:
            - address: ${_param:storage_node01_address}
              device: vdb
            - address: ${_param:storage_node02_address}
              device: vdc

Documentation and Bugs

To learn how to deploy OpenStack Salt, consult the documentation available online at:

https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/OpenStackSalt

In the unfortunate event that bugs are discovered, they should be reported to the appropriate bug tracker. If you obtained the software from a 3rd party operating system vendor, it is often wise to use their own bug tracker for reporting problems. In all other cases use the master OpenStack bug tracker, available at:

http://bugs.launchpad.net/openstack-salt

Developers wishing to work on the OpenStack Salt project should always base their work on the latest formulas code, available from the master GIT repository at:

https://git.openstack.org/cgit/openstack/salt-formula-swift

Developers should also join the discussion on the IRC list, at:
