OpenStack Swift is a highly-available distributed object storage system which supports highly concurrent workloads. Swift is the backbone behind Cloud Files, Rackspace's storage-as-a-service offering. In this workshop, which will be hosted by members of SwiftStack, Inc., we'll walk you through deployment and use of OpenStack Swift. We'll begin by showing you how to install Swift from the ground up
