General support for:
- Monitors
- OSDs
- MDSs
- RGW
More details:
- Authentication (cephx), this can be disabled.
- Supports cluster public and private network.
- Monitors deployment. You can easily start with one monitor and then progressively add new nodes.
So can deploy one monitor for testing purpose. For production, I recommend to always use an odd
number of monitors, 3 tends to be the standard. - Object Storage Daemons. Like the monitors you can start with a certain amount of nodes and then
grow this number. The playbook either supports a dedicated device for storing the journal or both
journal and OSD data on the same device (using a tiny partition at the beginning of the device). - Metadata daemons.
- Collocation. The playbook supports collocating Monitors, OSDs and MDSs on the same machine.
- The playbook was validated on Debian Wheezy, Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and CentOS 6.4.
- Tested on Ceph Dumpling and Emperor.
- A rolling upgrade playbook was written, an upgrade from Dumpling to Emperor was performed and worked.
