Thanks Donagh,

I will take a look to the ontainer-to-container synchronization to understand if it fits with my scenario.

The swift instances may be in different Keystone administrative domains -- the authentication is not based on Keystone. It does require that each swift instance be configured to "recognise" each other. However, this is only usable for low update rates.
