OpenStack Object Storage allows you to store files. Here we'll use Rackspace Cloud Files, which is built on top of OpenStack Object Storage.
Here we're going to upload a file into the "hackspace" container. We'll use an OpenStack logo as our file:
Download the file openstack-cloud-software-vertical-small.png to your local machine:
$ wget http://www.openstack.org/assets/openstack-logo/openstack-cloud-software-vertical-small.png
Now, upload this file to object store into a new container called "hackspace":
$ swift upload hackspace openstack-cloud-software-vertical-small.png
The hackspace container should now appear:
$ swift list
Output should look like:
hackspace
The contents of the container should be the file:
$ swift list hackspace
Output should look like:
openstack-cloud-software-vertical-small.png
Download the file from Openstack Object Storage to your local machine, giving it a different name (logo.png):
$ swift download hackspace openstack-cloud-software-vertical-small.png --output logo.png
Next exercise is DevStack.
