Bug Description
This is a Main Inclusion Request for swift, and its python dependencies:
Per https:/
== Availability ==
Swift has been part of Ubuntu in the universe repository since Ubuntu 10.10. It is not architecture dependent.
== Rationale ==
Swift is the object store for OpenStack, and is necessary for running a complete OpenStack cluster. This is a key component of this blueprint:

== Security ==
Swift is relatively young, and has had no CVE's reported against it as of yet. It uses a flexible authentication system which is detailed here:
http://
Which takes advantage of other security architectures rather than build its own.
== Quality Assurance ==
The packages are actively maintained by multiple members of the Ubuntu Server team and have no bugs over 'Low' priority.
== UI Standards ==
N/A
== Dependencies ==
The python dependencies of swift that need MIR's all have their own MIR requests:
python-greenlet
python-eventlet
python-webob
