MicroCeph: Simplifying Storage

on YouTube ↗19m

" summary

MicroCeph packages a full Ceph cluster as a single snap package that runs from laptop to production; it boots single-node clusters with 3 simulated OSDs via loop files and automatically adjusts CRUSH failure domains as nodes are added. A live demo builds a six-node cluster with 12 OSDs, enables RGW S3, creates a bucket and uploads/downloads an object, then creates and maps a 4 GB RBD image and writes a filesystem, proving both S3 and RBD verified end-to-end. Integration with Juju, MicroK8s and LXD and planned RBD mirroring and LTS snaps complete the plan.
