Comment on Access Control in Swift

Comments

I think its pretty unfortunate Apple chose the name used by OpenStack's Object Storage (Swift)...

It's also the same name as one of their own CPU cores (the A6 CPU core was called Swift). And another programming language. And a spacecraft. And a bird.

and that OpenStack's Object Storage chose the name used by a great Jabber client (Swift: http://swift.im/)...

Yes, I find that unfortunate too.

But if you're interested in ACLs in OpenStack Swift, http://swift.openstack.org/overview_auth.html is a good place to start.

(all tongue in cheek)
