  OpenIO SDS ships first-party command-line tooling. The end-user `openio` CLI
  drives the native object storage API (accounts, containers, objects, cluster);
  the `openio-admin` CLI drives administration including S3 IAM. The platform is
  additionally compatible with the standard AWS S3 CLI and OpenStack Swift CLI
  against its respective gateways.
