Ceph is a unified, distributed storage system designed for
excellent performance, reliability, and scalability. This
cutting-edge technology has been transforming the storage industry,
and is evolving rapidly as a leader in software-defined storage
space, extending full support to cloud platforms such as Openstack
and Cloudstack, including virtualization platforms. It is the most
popular storage backend for Openstack, public, and private clouds,
so is the first choice for a storage solution. Ceph is backed by
RedHat and is developed by a thriving open source community of
individual developers as well as several companies across the
globe. This book takes you from a basic knowledge of Ceph to an
expert understanding of the most advanced features, walking you
through building up a production-grade Ceph storage cluster and
helping you develop all the skills you need to plan, deploy, and
effectively manage your Ceph cluster. Beginning with the basics,
you'll create a Ceph cluster, followed by block, object, and file
storage provisioning. Next, you'll get a step-by-step tutorial on
integrating it with OpenStack and building a Dropbox-like object
storage solution. We'll also take a look at federated architecture
and CephFS, and you'll dive into Calamari and VSM for monitoring
the Ceph environment. You'll develop expert knowledge on
troubleshooting and benchmarking your Ceph storage cluster.
Finally, you'll get to grips with the best practices to operate
Ceph in a production environment. Style and approach This
step-by-step guide is filled with practical tutorials, making
complex scenarios easy to understand.
