Ceph Object Storage Gateway

The Ceph Object Storage Gateway is a component that allows users and applications to store, retrieve, and manage large amounts of data over a network, using standard protocols like Amazon S3 or OpenStack Swift. It acts as a bridge between the user’s systems and the underlying storage system, which is distributed across multiple servers. This setup ensures data is highly available, scalable, and fault-tolerant. Essentially, it provides a flexible, cloud-like storage service that is transparent to users, enabling seamless access and management of vast data collections in a reliable way.
