Gluster users - Mar 2017 - [Gluster-devel] Gluster Volume as object storage with S3 interface

I'm really inerested in this.
Let me know if I understood properly, now is possible to access a
Gluster volume as object storage via S3 API ?
Is Gluster-swift (and with that, the rings, auth and so on coming from
OpenStack) still needed ?

Yes. It is possible.

Authentication is currently turned off.  You can expect updates on 
Authentication soon.

You are right. gluster-swift is still needed. But, it is part of Docker 
container.
All gluster-swift processes are running inside Docker container in order 
to provide Object interface.
Docker container accesses Gluster volume to access (get/put) objects.

We are working on a custom solution which will avoids gluster-swift 
altogether.
We will update here once it is ready. Stay tuned.
