I am not talking about cinder. My question is: Openstack swift provides storage as a service to the user so that user can store their data offline. when a user store some data on swift using Object PUT command, data is stored as an object at some storage node. 1. What is this storage node - Is it a physical hard disk? 2. to store the data, Is swift virtualize the physical storage or directly store the data on physical disk? 3. Is there any need of storage virtualization in swift?
