Hi Chip, As I understand, 509 "backs" the NFS secondary storage using a S3 compatible Object Store. I'm proposing that CS uses any S3 ased Object Store as the "main" secondary storage (I want to avoid using the word primary in this context..) - in that sense, it is similar to the Swift use case (which uses NFS as a temporary staging) - I don't know if that (NFS as a temporary staging is strictly required also? Plus, I want to have a single object store for the entire region, across multiple zones (it doesn't appear 509 can do that)
Simply put, 509 is about "backing NFS secondary storage with an S3-compatible object store" - my proposal is about having an S3 compatible object store as THE secondary storage Hari -----Original Message----- From: Chip Childers [mailto:chip.child...@sungard.com] Sent: Wednesday, January 2, 2013 7:56 AM To: cloudstack-dev@incubator.apache.org Subject: Re: [DISCUSS]S3-based secondary storage Isn't this a duplicate of CLOUDSTACK-509?
