Abstract: An automated framework to deploy a HTTP-accessible backed-up virtualized S3-compliant object store in an OpenStack tenant namespace. The automation framework receives user specified configuration in the form of typed input and provisions and deploys the S3 virtual servers and volumes in the OpenStack project. The S3 servers are configured to provide a load-balanced frontend Proxy and data replication of objects across all virtual S3 storage servers. Once deployed the framework backs up each S3 virtual machine and associated volumes and implements a user-specified backup schedule for the provisioned object store. An S3-compliant HTTP endpoint is configured to allow access using an access key and secret key made visible only within the constraints of the deployment framework.
