I updated the swift content in the installation guide as
follows:
1) Consolidated Identity service configuration into proxy
service configuration section.
2) Changed initial example architecture to install the proxy
service on the controller node instead of a separate node.
However, I used wording that supports separate and/or
multiple proxy services.
3) The steps to configure memcached break installations with
horizon because the latter references 127.0.0.1 instead
of the management network interface IP address. After
consolidating the proxy service to a single instance on
the controller node, it now references 127.0.0.1.
4) Changed initial example architecture to install two
storage nodes rather than five storage nodes to reduce
the barrier to entry for users that want to try swift.
However, I used wording that supports additional storage
nodes and also references the swift documentation for
larger deployments.
5) Changed the initial example architecture to use only the
management network instead of a separate storage/replication
network because the original instructions didn't actually use
the latter. Fully implementing a separate storage/replication
network requires a considerably more complex configuration
and eliminating it reduces the barrier to entry for users
that want to try swift. However, I used wording that
mentions a separate storage/replication network and also
references the swift documentation for larger deployments.
6) The Ubuntu and RHEL/CentOS/Fedora packages include ancient
upstream/example configuration files that contain
deprecated/defunct options and lack options that enable
useful features. Packages take a while to fix, so the
instructions now pull the upstream configuration files.
7) Removed the steps to create disk labels and partitions on
the storage nodes because a variety of methods exist and
users should choose their own method.
8) Changed rsync to run as a standard service rather than use
the xinetd wrapper on RHEL/CentOS/Fedora.
9) Separated account, container, and object ring creation steps
into separate sections to improve clarity and reduce typos.
10) Reduced partition power from 18 to 10 during ring creation
because the example architecture shouldn't scale to the higher
value using the example architecture.
11) Changed storage node service management steps on Ubuntu to
use 'swift-init' rather than manually starting a large
number of services.
12) Modified file names and IDs to increase consistency with
other content in the guide.
I recommend backporting to Juno as this chapter wasn't
functional in time for release. Also, I'm planning to
improve the diagrams in a future patch.
