RHEA-2014:0951 - Product Enhancement Advisory

Topic

OpenStack Object Storage packages for Red Hat Enterprise Linux OpenStack
Platform 5.0 (Icehouse) for RHEL 6 are now available.

Description

Red Hat Enterprise Linux OpenStack Platform provides the facilities for
building a private or public infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) cloud
running on commonly available physical hardware. This advisory includes
packages for:

• OpenStack Object Storage service ("Swift").
• OpenStack Object Storage client ("python-swiftclient").
• OpenStack Object Storage S3 API compatibility plugin

OpenStack Object Storage (swift) provides object storage in virtual
containers, which allows users to store and retrieve files (arbitrary
data). The service's distributed architecture supports horizontal scaling;
redundancy as failure-proofing is provided through software-based data
replication. Because Object Storage supports asynchronous eventual
consistency replication, it is well suited to multiple data-center
deployment.

These packages also improve the deployment adaptability by now allowing
you to change the hostname used in the Domain Remapping feature (via
cname_lookup).
