OpenStack Object Storage (swift)

Openstack as CDN

Asked by Fatih Güçlü Akkaya

Hi all,

For the openstack document i saw the following line here:

"Another use for object storage solutions is as a content delivery network (CDN) for hosting static web content (e.g., images, and media files), since object storage already provides an HTTP interface."

I know there are similar question ask two years ago:

https://answers.launchpad.net/swift/+question/136903

Is it still the same or is there a configuration to integrate openstack with an existing cdn provider?

Thanks

Hi,

You can use https://github.com/dpgoetz/sos to integrate swift into a CDN system as an origin server. It's not part of Openstack right now but is an associated project listed here: http://docs.openstack.org/developer/swift/associated_projects.html . Its what we use at Rackspace,

David
