Creating the Swift service

Before configuring the Ceph Object Gateway, configure Keystone so that the Swift service is enabled and pointing to the Ceph Object Gateway.

Prerequisites

  • A running IBM Storage Ceph cluster.

  • Access to the Ceph software repository.

  • Root-level access to OpenStack controller node.

Procedure

  • Create the Swift service:

    [root@swift~]# openstack service create --name=swift --description="Swift Service" object-store
    Creating the service will echo the service settings.

Example

description Swift Service
enabled True
id 37c4c0e79571404cb4644201a4a6e5ee
name swift
type object-store
