CloudStack Collab Conference 2014

Artifacts such as templates, ISOs and snapshots are kept in storage which CloudStack refers to as secondary storage. To improve scalability and performance, as when a number of hosts access secondary storage concurrently, object storage can be used for secondary storage. Object storage can also provide built-in high availability capability. When using object storage, access to secondary storage data can be made available across multiple zones in a region. This is a huge benefit, as it is no longer necessary to copy templates, snapshots etc. across zones as would be needed in an NFS-only environment.

In this presentation Sanjeev will demonstrate on how to quickly setup Object storage and how to use it as a Secondary storage in CloudStack .
