Swift is an object storage system designed for data that needs to be instantly accessible from any device and stored forever. In short, it is the engine that runs some of the biggest storage clouds on the planet. This workshop will cover Swift’s architecture, its technology capabilities, and real-world infrastructure-as-a-service use cases. In the workshop, each attendee will participate in a hand-on lab deploying a Swift cluster in a virtual environment, so bring your laptop!
Prior to the workshop, be sure that you have a terminal appliction installed on your laptop (e.g. Window = Putty, Mac / Linux = Terminal). This OpenStack Swift introduction is great for attendees who want to understand the design goals of Swift and how they can best make use of this OpenStack component. It will be an informative experential introduction for those interested in running Swift or contributing to the Swift project.
This session is for anyone looking to get acquainted with OpenStack Swift. Technical hands-on folks will get the most out of the hands-on workshop exercises. This session is commonly attended by DevOps engineers, Systems Administrators, as well as Architects.
