[OpenStack] Images need to be stored in Glance or SWIFT?

 

Hi,

The OpenStack Installation document at
http://docs.openstack.org/folsom/basic-install/content/ as well as the
guide at
https://github.com/mseknibilel/OpenStack-Folsom-Install-guide/blob/master/OpenStack_Folsom_Install_Guide_WebVersion.rst
 do not talk about installing SWIFT. And in my setup (going by the
install
guide in git), I see that the images are stored in Glance. How does SWIFT
come in to the picture, my understanding was that the Images will be stored
in SWIFT and Glance is a catalog only.

Can some one throw some light on how to use SWIFT? I need to create a multi
site storage for Images and SWIFT can perhaps help me with it.

Regards,
Balu
