Open Stack

Hi, 
it depends basically on what you are looking for - you can store the images in both,  but Swift is more of an project aimed to propose and high-available and high-tolerant object store. Not saying that Glance doesn't do that - but Glance is more of a repository actually

And in my setup (going by the install guide in git), I see that the images are stored in Glance. How does SWIFT come in to the picture, my understanding was that the Images will be stored in SWIFT and Glance is a catalog only.
