Swift Driver

Status: Not for production, experimental only

This driver provides an example of a Swift cluster deployment. The cluster is configured with one replica rings and can be used to test the Swift API.

Deployment

The file examples/swift/cluster.yml contains an example deployment. For quick testing you can use minikube for a single node deployment or try kubernetes-swift for a 3 node deployment.

$ kubectl create -f examples/swift/cluster.yaml

No dynamic provisioning or persistent volumes will be created since this is a fake storage system deployment. All data is being stored inside container and will be deleted once the containers are deleted.

You can check the status of the swift cluster running the following commands:

$ kubectl get services
$ curl -i http://<public-node-ip>:<node-port>/healthcheck

Or if you have the swift client installed, you can test upload and download

$ echo 'hello world' > hw
$ swift -A http://<public-node-ip>:<node-port>/auth/v1.0 -U test:tester -K testing upload c1 hw
$ swift -A http://<public-node-ip>:<node-port>/auth/v1.0 -U test:tester -K list c1
