- 4. On commodity hardware Ceph can run on any infrastructure, metal or virtualized to provide a cheap and powerful storage cluster. Object, block, and file Low overhead doesn’t mean just hardware, it means people too! Awesomesauce Infrastructure-aware placement algorithm allows you to do really cool stuff. Huge and beyond Designed for exabyte, current implementations in the multi-petabyte. HPC, Big Data, Cloud, raw storage. …besides wicked-awesome? What is Ceph? Software All-in-1 CRUSH Scale 4

OBJECTS VIRTUAL DISKS FILES & DIRECTORIES CEPH FILE SYSTEM A distributed, scale-out filesystem with POSIX semantics that provides storage for a legacy and modern applications CEPH GATEWAY A powerful S3- and Swift- compatible gateway that brings the power of the Ceph Object Store to modern applications CEPH BLOCK DEVICE A distributed virtual block device that delivers high- performance, cost-effective storage for virtual machines and legacy applications CEPH OBJECT STORE A reliable, easy to manage, next-generation distributed object store that provides storage of unstructured data for applications 6

- 20. Block Alternate primary, and secondary Community maintained Community Wido from 42on.com More coming in 4.2! Snapshot & backup support Cloning (layering) support No NFS for system VMs Secondary/Backup storage (s3) CloudStack 20

- 22. A pretty package A commercially packaged OpenStack solution back by Ceph. RADOS for Archipelago Virtual server management software tool on top of Xen or KVM. RBD backed Complete virtualization management with KVM and containers. BBC territory Talk next week in Berlin So many delicious flavors Other Cloud SUSE Cloud Ganeti Proxmox OpenNebula 22
- 23. Since 2.6.35 Kernel clients for RBD and CephFS. Active development as a Linux file system. iSCSI ahoy! One of the Linux iSCSI target frameworks. Emulates: SBC (disk), SMC (jukebox), MMC (CD/DVD), SSC (tape), OSD. Getting creative Creative community member used Ceph to back their VMWare infrastructure via fibre channel. You can always use more friends Project Intersection Kernel STGT VMWare Love me! Slightly out-of-date. Some work has been done, but could use some love. Wireshark 23
- 24. CephFS CephFS can serve as a drop-in replacement for HDFS. Upstream Ceph vfs module upstream samba. CephFS or RBD Reexporting CephFS or RBD for NFS/CIFS. MOAR projects Project Intersection Hadoop Samba Ganesha Recently Open Source Commercially supported product from Citrix. Recently Open Sourced. Still a bit of a tech preview. XenServer 24
- 25. Support for libvirt XenServer can manipulate Ceph! Don’t let the naming fool you, it’s easy Blktap{2,3,asplode} Qemu; new boss, same as the old boss (but not really) What’s in a name?

- 27. Come for the block Stay for the object and file No matter what you use! Reduced Overhead Easier to manage one cluster “Other Stuff” CephFS prototypes fast development profile ceph-devel lots of partner action Gateway Drug 27
- 28. Squash Hotspots Multiple hosts = parallel workload But what does that mean? Instant Clones No time to boot for many images Live migration Shared storage allows you to move instances between compute nodes transparently. Blocks are delicious 28
- 29. Flexible APIs Native support for swift and s3 And less filling! Secondary Storage Coming with 4.2 Horizontal Scaling Easy with HAProxy or others Objects can juggle 29
- 30. Neat prototypes Image distribution to hypervisors You can dress them up, but you can’t take them anywhere Still early You can fix that! Outside uses Great way to combine resources. Files are tricksy 30
- 31. Where the metal meets the…software Deploying this stuff 31
- 32. Procedural, Ruby Written in Ruby, this is more of the dev- side of DevOps. Once you get past the learning curve it’s powerful though. Model-driven Aimed more at the sysadmin, this procedural tool has a very wide penetration (even on Windows!). Agentless, whole stack Using the built-in OpenSSH in your OS, this super easy tool goes further up the stack than most. Fast, 0MQ Using ZeroMQ this tool is designed for massive scale and fast, fast, fast. Unfortunately 0MQ has no built in encryption. The new hotness Orchestration Chef Puppet Ansible Salt 32
- 33. Canonical Unleashed Being language agnostic, this tool can completely encapsulate a service. Can also handle provisioning all the way down to hardware. Dell has skin in the game Complete operations platform that can dive all the way down to BIOS/RAID level. Others are joining in Custom provisioning and orchestration, just one example of how busy this corner of the market is. Doing it w/o a tool If you prefer not to use a tool, Ceph gives you an easy way to deploy your cluster by hand. MOAR HOTNESS Orchestration Cont’d Juju Crowbar ComodIT Ceph-deploy 33

Headed to dynamic Can already do this in a static pool-based setup. Looking to get to a use-based migration. Making it open-er Been talking about it forever. The time is coming! Hop on board!
