   4  Ceph Object Gateway

   7 :term:`Ceph Object Gateway` is an object storage interface built on top of
   8 ``librados``. It provides a RESTful gateway between applications and Ceph
   9 Storage Clusters. :term:`Ceph Object Storage` supports two interfaces:
  10
  11 #. **S3-compatible:** Provides object storage functionality with an interface
  12    that is compatible with a large subset of the Amazon S3 RESTful API.
  13
  14 #. **Swift-compatible:** Provides object storage functionality with an interface
  15    that is compatible with a large subset of the OpenStack Swift API.
  16
  17 Ceph Object Storage uses the Ceph Object Gateway daemon (``radosgw``), an HTTP
  18 server designed for interacting with a Ceph Storage Cluster. The Ceph Object
  19 Gateway provides interfaces that are compatible with both Amazon S3 and
  20 OpenStack Swift, and it has its own user management. Ceph Object Gateway can
  21 store data in the same Ceph Storage Cluster in which data from Ceph File System
  22 clients and Ceph Block Device clients is stored. The S3 API and the Swift API
  23 share a common namespace, which makes it possible to write data to a Ceph
  24 Storage Cluster with one API and then retrieve that data with the other API.
