openstack之Swift

什么是swift：

Swfit前身是Rackspace cloud finles项目，由Rackspace2010年贡献给openstack基金会，与Nova一并开启了Openstack元年。

Swift is a highly available, distributed, eventually consistent object/blob store. Organizations can use Swift to store lots of data efficiently, safely, and cheaply. It’s built for scale and optimized for durability, availability, and concurrency across the entire data set. Swift is ideal for storing unstructured data that can grow without bound.
Swift对标AWS的S3(Simple Object Storage)，
提供对象存储功能，

Swift架构

Swfit从系统架构上分为两层，一层是访问层，一层是存储层。

另外系统的高可用通过默认的三副本机制来实现。
数据的一致性通过auditor
