139-291: Nice addition overall; consider adding upstream RGW links for operator depth.The section is comprehensive and well-structured. As a follow-up, add direct links to RGW-specific upstream docs (API compatibility, multisite, and admin ops) so readers can validate version-specific details quickly.

- Around line 252-257: Update the RGW multi-site active-active paragraphs to add
a brief caveat about consistency: clarify that multi-site replication is
typically asynchronous and may result in eventual consistency and conflict
resolution requirements for concurrent cross-site writes, so operators should
not assume strong synchronous cross-site write guarantees; edit the sections
that describe "active-active" and "synchronized across sites" (the RGW
multi-site replication paragraph and the adjacent paragraph referenced) to
append one concise sentence warning about eventual consistency, potential write
conflicts, and the need for application-level conflict handling or configuration
of CRR/consistency settings.
- Around line 173-177: Replace absolute "work without modification" and blanket
claims about advanced-feature parity in the sentence that currently states
"enabling applications designed for these platforms to work with Ceph without
modification" and the following clause listing "multipart uploads, versioning,
lifecycle management, and bucket policies" with a qualified phrasing that
conveys high compatibility but acknowledges differences across releases and edge
cases (e.g., "provides high compatibility with Amazon S3 and OpenStack Swift,
though behavior and support for advanced features such as multipart uploads,
versioning, lifecycle management, and bucket policies may vary depending on Ceph
release and configuration"). Ensure both the phrase "work with Ceph without
modification" and the subsequent list are replaced/softened accordingly.

Soften “full compatibility” claims to avoid overpromising behavior.
Lines 173–186 read as near-complete S3/Swift parity (“work without modification” and broad advanced-feature equivalence). In practice, RGW compatibility is strong but not identical across all APIs/features/edge cases. Please qualify this as “high compatibility with some differences depending on Ceph release and feature set.”

Add consistency/conflict caveats for multi-site active-active writes.
The current wording implies seamless write-anywhere synchronization. Multi-site replication is typically asynchronous and can involve eventual consistency/conflict handling tradeoffs. Please add a short caveat so operators don’t infer strong cross-site write consistency guarantees.
