OpenStack Swift support in ECS

ECS includes support for the OpenStack Swift API and can replace Swift in an OpenStack environment. This part describes the supported operations and the mechanisms for authorization and authentication.

The OpenStack Swift Service is made available on the following ports.

Table 1. Port detailsThe following table describes the Port details
Protocol Ports
HTTP 9024
HTTPS 9025

Examples showing the use of the OpenStack Swift API can be found in OpenStack API Examples.

In an OpenStack environment, ECS can be used as a replacement for the OpenStack Swift component or alongside an existing OpenStack Swift installation. While ECS can be used with any OpenStack distribution, it has been tested with Mirantis OpenStack 9.1. Please note that ECS has been tested as a Swift replacement for user object storage and not as a Glance backend.

Using OpenStack with ECS requires you to configure ECS so that it can authenticate OpenStack users. You can see Authentication using ECS Keystone V3 integration for information about configuring authentication.
