NAME
swift-proxy-server - OpenStack Swift proxy server.
SYNOPSIS
/usr/lib/swift/swift-proxy-server [CONFIG] [-h|--help] [-v|--verbose]
DESCRIPTION
The Swift Proxy Server is responsible for tying together the rest of
the Swift architecture. For each request, it will look up the location
of the account, container, or object in the ring and route the request
accordingly. The public API is also exposed through the Proxy Server. A
large number of failures are also handled in the Proxy Server. For
example, if a server is unavailable for an object PUT, it will ask the
ring for a handoff server and route there instead. When objects are
streamed to or from an object server, they are streamed directly
through the proxy server to or from the user the proxy server does not
spool them.
The proxy server should be enabled and disabled using the Solaris Ser-
vice Management Facility, smf(5). The service FMRI for the proxy
server is:
svc:/application/openstack/swift/swift-proxy-server
