<para>OpenStack Object Storage provides a distributed,
|
|
API-accessible storage platform that can be integrated directly
|
|
into an application or used to store any type of file, including
|
|
VM images, backups, archives, or media files. In the OpenStack
|
|
Dashboard, you can only manage containers and objects.</para>

|
<para>In OpenStack Object Storage, containers provide storage
|
|
for objects in a manner similar to a Windows folder or Linux file
|
|
directory, though they cannot be nested. An object in OpenStack
|
|
consists of the file to be stored in the container and any
|
|
accompanying metadata.</para>
