In this recipe, we will go through the steps required to configure OpenStack Image service (Glance) to use Object Storage service (Swift).

To log in to our OpenStack Controller host that was created using Vagrant, issue the following command:
vagrant ssh controller
To configure OpenStack Image Service to use OpenStack Object Storage, carry out the following steps:
/etc/glance/glance-api.conf
file to notify Glance that we will use Swift instead of the default filesystem by editing the following line under...Change the font size
