OpenStack Swift is a scalable object storage system optimized for durability, availability, and concurrency. Swift provides a perfect storage platform for building applications that demand high availability and high concurrency for application assets. Deploying and operating Swift requires a solid understanding of how the system works. This talk will demonstrate how Swift works and give operators knowledge they need to design and deploy Swift. We will walk through setting up and running a Swift cluster in order to demonstrate Swift’s design and ability to handle modern workloads.

This talk is for intermediate and advanced audiences looking to learn how to solve their growing storage needs. The audience should expect a technical talk, including command line and code samples, from a speaker with a deep understanding of both the challenges of storage and how Swift solves those problems.
