Ceph Object Gateway

Ceph Object Gateway is an object storage interface built on top oflibrados to provide applications with a RESTful gateway toCeph Storage Clusters. Ceph Object Storage supports two interfaces:

  • S3-compatible: Provides object storage functionality with an interfacethat is compatible with a large subset of the Amazon S3 RESTful API.

  • Swift-compatible: Provides object storage functionality with an interfacethat is compatible with a large subset of the OpenStack Swift API.

Ceph Object Storage uses the Ceph Object Gateway daemon (radosgw), which isan HTTP server for interacting with a Ceph Storage Cluster. Since itprovides interfaces compatible with OpenStack Swift and Amazon S3, the CephObject Gateway has its own user management. Ceph Object Gateway can store datain the same Ceph Storage Cluster used to store data from Ceph File System clientsor Ceph Block Device clients. The S3 and Swift APIs share a common namespace, soyou may write data with one API and retrieve it with the other.
