Ceph Object Gateway

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