Object Storage

The object storage service providing Swift and S3 endpoints is enabled automatically as soon as there are storage nodes in a cluster.

The object storage endpoints can be retrieved using openstack client. See Using OpenStack CLI on how to use OpenStack CLI.

Run the below command to get s3 endpoint:

openstack endpoint list --service s3 --interface public

Sample output of the above command:

+----------------------------------+-----------+--------------+--------------+---------+-----------+--------------------+
| ID                               | Region    | Service Name | Service Type | Enabled | Interface | URL                |
+----------------------------------+-----------+--------------+--------------+---------+-----------+--------------------+

+----------------------------------+-----------+--------------+--------------+---------+-----------+--------------------+

Run the below command to get swift endpoint:

openstack endpoint list --service swift --interface public

Sample output of the above command:

+----------------------------------+-----------+--------------+--------------+---------+-----------+-------------------------------------------------+

Usage

To access using the swift protocol, users can use the openstack client.

Create a Swift container using command:

openstack container create foo

Sample output:

+---------------------------------------+-----------+--------------------------------------------------+
| account                               | container | x-trans-id                                       |
+---------------------------------------+-----------+--------------------------------------------------+
| AUTH_75a27eb3202d4fcda251647d1d78af2c | foo       | tx0000045042a8694f86bc4-0066877b39-121b1-default |
+---------------------------------------+-----------+--------------------------------------------------+ 

List containers using command:

openstack container list

Sample output:

+------+
| Name |
+------+
| foo  |
+------+

Upload an object in the container using command:

openstack object create foo test.txt --name test

Sample output:

+--------+-----------+----------------------------------+
| object | container | etag                             |
+--------+-----------+----------------------------------+
| test   | foo       | d8e8fca2dc0f896fd7cb4cb0031ba249 |
+--------+-----------+----------------------------------+

List the objects in the container using command:

openstack object list foo

Sample output:

+------+
| Name |
+------+
| test |
+------+

Delete an object from container using command:

openstack object delete foo test

Delete a container using command:

openstack container delete foo
