For around twenty years, Nick Fisk believed that one day he would
find a letter on his doormat from Cardiff City FC requesting his
services on the football pitch. When he realised it was unlikely he
was ever going to be offered the role of groundsman, he decided the
next best thing would be to write about the club instead. A former
member of the not especially notorious non-hooligan gang, The Sad
Crew, Fisk has plenty of experience to draw from, in terms of going
to football matches, and coming up with ridiculous chants that
nobody ever joins in with. In The Blues Are Back in Town Nick
charts the 2014/15 season, following the team and its fans, and
trying to rediscover his passion for the recently relegated club,
while at the same time, reflecting on the good old days. The blog
he kept, The Fisk Report, gave an insight into not just what it's
like to be a typical fan, but what supporting The Bluebirds is like
through the eyes of a Fisk. It is a funny, enigmatic and personal
book about the passion and belief of being a football fan.

Get to grips with the unified, highly scalable distributed storage
system and learn how to design and implement it. Key Features
Explore Ceph's architecture in detail Implement a Ceph cluster
successfully and gain deep insights into its best practices
Leverage the advanced features of Ceph, including erasure coding,
tiering, and BlueStore Book DescriptionThis Learning Path takes you
through the basics of Ceph all the way to gaining in-depth
understanding of its advanced features. You'll gather skills to
plan, deploy, and manage your Ceph cluster. After an introduction
to the Ceph architecture and its core projects, you'll be able to
set up a Ceph cluster and learn how to monitor its health, improve
its performance, and troubleshoot any issues. By following the
step-by-step approach of this Learning Path, you'll learn how Ceph
integrates with OpenStack, Glance, Manila, Swift, and Cinder. With
knowledge of federated architecture and CephFS, you'll use Calamari
and VSM to monitor the Ceph environment. In the upcoming chapters,
you'll study the key areas of Ceph, including BlueStore, erasure
coding, and cache tiering. More specifically, you'll discover what
they can do for your storage system. In the concluding chapters,
you will develop applications that use Librados and distributed
computations with shared object classes, and see how Ceph and its
supporting infrastructure can be optimized. By the end of this
Learning Path, you'll have the practical knowledge of operating
Ceph in a production environment. This Learning Path includes
content from the following Packt products: Ceph Cookbook by Michael
Hackett, Vikhyat Umrao and Karan Singh Mastering Ceph by Nick Fisk
Learning Ceph, Second Edition by Anthony D'Atri, Vaibhav Bhembre
and Karan Singh What you will learn Understand the benefits of
using Ceph as a storage solution Combine Ceph with OpenStack,
Cinder, Glance, and Nova components Set up a test cluster with
Ansible and virtual machine with VirtualBox Develop solutions with
Librados and shared object classes Configure BlueStore and see its
interaction with other configurations Tune, monitor, and recover
storage systems effectively Build an erasure-coded pool by
selecting intelligent parameters Who this book is forIf you are a
developer, system administrator, storage professional, or cloud
engineer who wants to understand how to deploy a Ceph cluster, this
Learning Path is ideal for you. It will help you discover ways in
which Ceph features can solve your data storage problems. Basic
knowledge of storage systems and GNU/Linux will be beneficial.
Discover the unified, distributed storage system and improve the
performance of applications Key Features Explore the latest
features of Ceph's Mimic release Get to grips with advanced
disaster and recovery practices for your storage Harness the power
of Reliable Autonomic Distributed Object Store (RADOS) to help you
optimize storage systems Book DescriptionCeph is an open source
distributed storage system that is scalable to Exabyte deployments.
This second edition of Mastering Ceph takes you a step closer to
becoming an expert on Ceph. You'll get started by understanding the
design goals and planning steps that should be undertaken to ensure
successful deployments. In the next sections, you'll be guided
through setting up and deploying the Ceph cluster with the help of
orchestration tools. This will allow you to witness Ceph's
scalability, erasure coding (data protective) mechanism, and
automated data backup features on multiple servers. You'll then
discover more about the key areas of Ceph including BlueStore,
erasure coding and cache tiering with the help of examples. Next,
you'll also learn some of the ways to export Ceph into non-native
environments and understand some of the pitfalls that you may
encounter. The book features a section on tuning that will take you
through the process of optimizing both Ceph and its supporting
infrastructure. You'll also learn to develop applications, which
use Librados and distributed computations with shared object
classes. Toward the concluding chapters, you'll learn to
troubleshoot issues and handle various scenarios where Ceph is not
likely to recover on its own. By the end of this book, you'll be
able to master storage management with Ceph and generate solutions
for managing your infrastructure. What you will learn Plan, design
and deploy a Ceph cluster Get well-versed with different features
and storage methods Carry out regular maintenance and daily
operations with ease Tune Ceph for improved ROI and performance
Recover Ceph from a range of issues Upgrade clusters to BlueStore
Who this book is forIf you are a storage professional, system
administrator, or cloud engineer looking for guidance on building
powerful storage solutions for your cloud and on-premise
infrastructure, this book is for you.
Deep dive into the unified, distributed storage system in order to
provide excellent performance About This Book * Leverage Ceph's
advanced features such as erasure coding, tiering, and Bluestore *
Solve large-scale problems with Ceph as a tool by understanding its
strengths and weaknesses to develop the best solutions * A
practical guide that covers engaging use cases to help you use
advanced features of Ceph effectively Who This Book Is For If you
are a developer and an administrator who has deployed a Ceph
cluster before and are curious about some of the most advanced
features in order to improve performance then this book is for you
What You Will Learn *Know when and how to use some of Ceph's
advanced new features * Set up a test cluster with Ansible and some
virtual machines using VirtualBox and Vagrant *Develop novel
solutions to massive problems with librados and shared object
classes. * Choose intelligent parameters for an erasure coded pool
and set it up. * Configure the Bluestore settings and see how they
interact with different hardware configurations. * Keep Ceph
running through thick and thin with tuning, monitoring and disaster
recovery advice. In Detail Mastering Ceph covers all that you need
to know to use Ceph effectively. Starting with design goals and
planning steps that should be undertaken to ensure successful
deployments, you will be guided through to setting up and deploying
the Ceph cluster, with the help of orchestration tools. Key areas
of Ceph including Bluestore, Erasure coding and cache tiering will
be covered with help of examples. Development of applications which
use Librados and Distributed computations with shared object
classes are also covered. A section on tuning will take you through
the process of optimisizing both Ceph and its supporting
