The object storage service providing Swift and S3 endpoints is enabled automatically as soon as there are storage nodes in a cluster.
The object storage endpoints can be retrieved using openstack client. See Using OpenStack CLI on how to use OpenStack CLI.
Run the below command to get s3 endpoint:
openstack endpoint list --service s3 --interface public
Sample output of the above command:

| ID | Region | Service Name | Service Type | Enabled | Interface | URL |

Usage
To access using the swift protocol, users can use the openstack client.
Create a Swift container using command:
openstack container create foo
Sample output:
+---------------------------------------+-----------+--------------------------------------------------+
| account | container | x-trans-id |
+---------------------------------------+-----------+--------------------------------------------------+
| AUTH_75a27eb3202d4fcda251647d1d78af2c | foo | tx0000045042a8694f86bc4-0066877b39-121b1-default |
+---------------------------------------+-----------+--------------------------------------------------+
List containers using command:
openstack container list
Sample output:
+------+
| Name |

| foo |
+------+
Upload an object in the container using command:
openstack object create foo test.txt --name test
Sample output:
+--------+-----------+----------------------------------+
| object | container | etag |
+--------+-----------+----------------------------------+
| test | foo | d8e8fca2dc0f896fd7cb4cb0031ba249 |
+--------+-----------+----------------------------------+
List the objects in the container using command:
openstack object list foo
Sample output:
+------+
