Open Stack

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?

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. And for sure I was talking about secure and
customizable catalog of binary data with its metadata, and not the concrete
storage implementation. Sorry again for this confusion :)

Best,
Mike
