SD4H has a large Object Store. Objects are accessible through a web API via the Rados Gateway (radosgw) service. Both the S3 and swift API standards are supported by the radosgw. | SD4H has a large Object Store. Objects are accessible through a web API via the Rados Gateway (radosgw) service.

In an Object Store, an object is the equivalent of a file on a posix file system. The object store gives users a lot of flexibility, but the steps to do simple tasks like sharing and transferring data involve somewhat of a learning cure. We propose a procedure here so this curve is as gentle as possible. Once done, the procedure will be both more secure and more flexible than sharing data on a share HPC platform or on some VM owned by your group. | In an Object Store, an object is the equivalent of a file on a posix file system.
