I just wanted to make sure I understand swift FS properly. Is it possible to run a live VM operating system image on Swift like you can on a mounted SAN/NAS/Local storage? Or is it just for operations like a remote file server if you would, such as google Drive/DropBox and so on?

Thanks

Swift is a object storage solution with REST based API. It is deployed at Wikipedia, Rackspace, HPcloud

You can use external solution if you are looking forward to use Swift as filesystem.

You can also check http://docs.openstack.org/developer/swift/associated_projects.html for list of all the associated project.
