In this chapter, you’ll learn how to get a Swift cluster up and running. We will cover the download and installation of OpenStack Swift direct from source and go into detail about the configuration options. This will provide a foundation for understanding any automation tools you might use during deployment. Chapter 10 covers installing Swift using SwiftStack.
The instructions in this chapter show a fairly generic installation for a small deployment. The exact values you use when you are installing will vary depending on your needs and the physical or virtual machine(s) you are using. There are many configuration options and installation decisions to make; we will note potential land mines, so you can learn from our (sometimes painful) experiences.
