Object Storage is a "relatively" new storage architecture being widely used in cloud computing. This talk will introduce object storage concepts and use cases and how they are different from block and file storage. As an example, we will provide an overview of Openstack Swift, its main features as well as talk about what's in the works for future releases. Swift is a highly available, distributed, eventually consistent object store. It is used at organizations like Wikipedia, OVH, Ebay and many more across the globe to store lots of data efficiently at a massive scale. It provides a RESTful API for data access, making it ideal for use with web applications. This talk will also provide a demo usage of Swift.
