Preface

OpenStack Object Storage is an affordable, redundant, scalable, and dynamic storage service offering. The core storage system is designed to provide a safe, secure, automatically re-sizing and network-accessible way to store data. You can store an unlimited quantity of files and each file can be as large as 5 GB, plus with large object creation, you can upload and store objects of virtually any size.

OpenStack Object Storage enables you to store and get files and content through the Representational State Transfer (REST) interface. There are also language-specific APIs that utilize the RESTful API but make it much easier for developers to integrate into their applications.

For more details about the OpenStack Object Storage service, see http://docs.openstack.org/developer/swift/.

We welcome feedback, comments, and bug reports at http://bugs.launchpad.net/swift.
