Swift at Scale: The IBM SoftLayer Story

Come hear IBM SoftLayer's OpenStack Swift story and lessons from operating public object storage.

IBM's SoftLayer began its OpenStack journey in early 2012 when it launched public OpenStack Swift clusters in three of its global datacenters. Over the last 4.5 years, it has added Swift clusters into 22 additional datacenters at break-neck pace, launched several multi-facility Swift clusters, and expanded global storage capacity by several orders of magnitude. Join us for this session as we share the story of our journey running Swift at scale over the years.


What can I expect to learn?

We'll share not only our success stories, but also plenty of harrowing and humbling lessons we've learned the hard way that we think every Swift operator should know -- ranging across development, testing, deployment, operations, and monitoring.
