<div dir="ltr">Okay, it seems I did not express myself very well :) But then there is a rhetorical question: if it's officially recommended to use the service with the name that starts with "S", why does Nova use a service with the name beginning with "G" to store its images? <br><br>As you may know Glare is a proxy to Swift, Ceph and other possible cloud storages, and it provides an abstraction (artifact) upon them + several additional features (like custom data validation and conversion) that Swift doesn't and shouldn't have.

</span>Well it's a storage service, so I hope the name doesn't start with "S". ;D<br>
