Abstract
This talk will cover a brief overview of object storage in general and Ceph Object Storage Gateway in particular. Ceph is an open source, highly scalable, software defined storage that provides object, file and block interfaces under a unified system. Ceph Object Storage Gateway (RGW) provides a RESTful object storage interface to the Ceph Storage cluster. It provides an interface that is compatible with a large subset of AWS S3 APIs and Openstack Swift APIs.
Key topics of discussion will be on:
- S3 API
- Object versioning
- LifeCycle Management
- Log-based replication
- Cloud Sync module
- Garbage Collection
- Authentication subsystems - Local, Remote and STS
- Data analytics workload
