To let you organize storage of your data objects, Swarm provides a hierarchy of container objects: cluster, domain, and bucket (shown in white, below).
...
You can configure your cluster into a storage cloud (such as cloud.com, below) that allows users in one storage domain (my.cloud.com) securely access their content separately from other users:

These actions make your URLs and cURL commands as simple as possible:
