Introduction
Now that we have an OpenStack Object Storage environment running, we can use it to store our files. To do this, we can use the swift client tool. This allows us to operate our OpenStack Object Storage environment by allowing us to create containers, upload files, retrieve them, and set required permissions on them, as appropriate.
