Dear all, i have some question around my head.

1. i have compute node and running KVM hypervisor in there, controller 
node and network node.
question is, in where data that instance run store? is it on compute node?
2. if i want to store all data in separate node let say using swift 
(swift node), can this happen?
3. what is flavor used to store data? i mean when i create instance with 
selected flavor(ex:10GB), where that space that would be create? in 
swift node?
4. So if this can be done, in my compute node is just run KVM, and no 
data store that. right?

Thanks before.
