Utian Ayuba provides information about integrating Ceph block device storage and OpenStack. He discusses Ceph architecture including OSD, monitor, and metadata server nodes. Ceph uses placement groups to store and replicate data across nodes. Ceph supports block, object, and file storage interfaces that can be used by OpenStack services like Glance (images), Cinder (volumes), and Nova (instance disks). Utian then outlines three labs for installing OpenStack on openSUSE, deploying a Ceph cluster, and integrating Ceph block storage with OpenStack. Topologies are provided for the single-node OpenStack and Ceph cluster deployments, as well as the integrated OpenStack and Ceph architecture.
