Current (Unreleased) Release Notes

16.0.0.0rc1

Prelude

This release supports the latest OpenStack Swift release. It contains the new podman gateway driver to run storlet applications inside podman containers, instead of docker containers, to support more deployment patterns.

New Features

• The podman gateway driver has been added. This allows users to run applications inside podman containers, which do not require root priviledge. Note that using this driver requires podman.socket service started with the user used by swift services, so that swift services can request operations about containers.
