<div dir="ltr">Hi Frans, <div><br></div><div>Here's my perspective. </div><div><br></div><div>There's some tradeoff between different choices. First of all, you should know your use case clearly before make decision. There's several combo : </div>
<div><br></div><div><ul><li>OpenStack Swift as object storage core + Cinder as the the block storage controller with various backends<br></li><li>OpenStack Swift as object storage core + Ceph RBD interface as the block storage <br>
</li><li>Rados storage pools as the backend for Swift/S3 APIs(Ceph RadosGW) and Ceph RBD <br></li></ul></div><div><br></div><div>If you would like to have full benefits of OpenStack Swift, you should take OpenStack Swift as the object storage core. You can have 100% features of Swift and a built-in http request handler. </div>
<div>If you'd like to store everything on a unified storage infrastructure, you can go Ceph. But you'll lose part of feature of Swift.</div><div>Regarding to the Cinder or Ceph. Well, Cinder allows you to use different backend. It depends on the cost, use case, reliability etc. </div>
<div><br></div><div><br>It might be good to hear the use cases there. </div><div><br></div><div>Hope it help </div><div>Hugo </div><div><br></div><div><br></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">

Hi all<br>

also a replacement.<br>
<br>

<br>

<br>
