This is a presentation of a terrific paper “On the Synchronization Bottleneck of OpenStack Swift-Like Cloud Storage Systems” which can be found here. I highly recommend reading this paper if you have any interest in the inner workings of distributed object stores. My presentation acts as a primer and provides some preliminary knowledge that is assumed in the paper itself.

If you’re on mobile and the below pdf viewer is acting up I have the PDF hosted on my website here. Jekyll can be a pain sometimes.
