Precisely. This is why nova-objectstore cannot be removed even if Glance supports S3 as a backend :) > For serious deployments I guess we would use Swift S3 frontend.

Depends on whether supporting euca-upload-bundle is going to be a priority once alternate openstack-API-speaking client tools are completed... :) My guess is that it won't, and nova-objectstore will eventually move into /ext or /plugin for those who will want to continue using euca-upload-bundle directly. -jay _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~openstack Post to : openstack@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~openstack More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
