Rook Deployed Scalable NFS Clusters Exporting CephFS

on YouTube ↗37m

" summary

Rook+Ceph Nautilus now dynamically deploys highly available, scalable NFS‑Ganesha clusters that export CephFS, created on demand via Rook CRDs and kubectl and scaling per exported subvolume. Clusters run NFS‑Ganesha active‑active clusters with session reclaim integrated into Ceph MDS, store coordination and failover state in RADOS/libcephfs not CTDB, and avoid pacemaker. Operators can spin up replacement pods and migrate IPs quickly; the system ships today and shortens client reclaim times versus legacy passive/active setups.
