NAME
       swift-container-sync - Openstack-swift container sync


SYNOPSIS
       swift-container-sync [CONFIG] [-h|--help] [-v|--verbose] [-o|--once]


DESCRIPTION
       Swift  has  a  feature where all the contents of a container can be mirrored to another container through
       background synchronization. Swift cluster operators configure their cluster to allow/accept sync requests
       to/from  other  clusters,  and  the  user  specifies where to sync their container to along with a secret
       synchronization key.

       The swift-container-sync does the job of sending updates to  the  remote  container.   This  is  done  by
       scanning  the local devices for container databases and checking for x-container-sync-to and x-container-
       sync-key metadata values. If they exist, newer rows since the last sync will trigger PUTs or  DELETEs  to
       the other container.
