SwiftStack Usage Cookbook

This cookbook provides recipes for how to perform various activities on your SwiftStack cluster using curl utility and the swift command line tool.

The curl utility comes pre-installed on OSX and may be installed on RHEL/CENTOS and Debian/Ubuntu with yum install curl or sudo apt-get install curl respectively. For information on how to install swift, see Installing the Swift Command Line Client.

Many of the examples depend on which middleware you have installed on your cluster, and others are specific to clusters managed by the SwiftStack Controller.

You will need to know the following information about your Swift installation before you start:

  • AUTH_URL

    Displayed on the Cluster Detail page.

  • USERNAME

    Set on the cluster's Manage User Accounts page.

  • PASSWORD

    Set on the cluster's Manage User Accounts page.
