[glance] Doc about swift as backend
Hi everyone, Are there any specific documentation about how to configure Swift as backend of Glance service? I've found this: https://docs.openstack.org/glance/latest/configuration/configuring.html but I'm not sure what are the options I need. Firstly, I follow the installation guides of glance: https://docs.openstack.org/glance/latest/install/install-ubuntu.html and I have now file as store but I'rather change it. Thanks!

The only thing I'm aware of is the "configuring swift" section of that doc you already found: https://docs.openstack.org/glance/latest/configuration/configuring.html#conf... The first decision you have to make is whether to use single tenant (all images stored in an account "owned" by glance) or multi-tenant (the data for an image owned by tenant T is stored in T's account in swift). There are pros and cons to each; you may want to add [ops] to your subject and see if other operators can give you some advice. They may also know of some other helpful documentation.
Thanks!
I would say that if you're building a public facing service the multi-tenant approach makes sense. If this is internal then a single tenant is the way to go IMO. On Fri, Mar 5, 2021 at 9:35 AM Brian Rosmaita <rosmaita.fossdev@gmail.com> wrote:
