Implement and manage your software-defined, massively scalable storage
system
Key Features
- Explore Ceph's architecture in order to achieve scalability and high
availability
- Learn to utilize Ceph efficiently with the help of practical examples
- Successfully implement Ceph clusters to scale-out storage solutions
along with outstanding data protection
Book Description
Learning Ceph, Second Edition will give you all the skills you need to
plan, deploy, and effectively manage your Ceph cluster. You will begin
with the first module, where you will be introduced to Ceph use cases,
its architecture, and core projects. In the next module, you will learn
to set up a test cluster, using Ceph clusters and hardware selection.
After you have learned to use Ceph clusters, the next module will teach
you how to monitor cluster health, improve performance, and troubleshoot
any issues that arise. In the last module, you will learn to integrate
Ceph with other tools such as OpenStack, Glance, Manila, Swift, and
Cinder.
By the end of the book you will have learned to use Ceph effectively for
your data storage requirements.
What You Will Learn
- The limitations of existing systems and why you should use Ceph as a
storage solution
- Familiarity with Ceph's architecture, components, and services
- Instant deployment and testing of Ceph within a Vagrant and VirtualBox
environment
- Ceph operations including maintenance, monitoring, and troubleshooting
- Storage provisioning of Ceph's block, object, and filesystem services
- Integrate Ceph with OpenStack
- Advanced topics including erasure coding, CRUSH maps, and performance
tuning
- Best practices for your Ceph clusters
Who This Book Is For
A basic knowledge of GNU/Linux, and storage systems, and server
components is assumed. If you have no experience of software-defined
storage solutions and Ceph, but are eager to learn about them, this is
the book for you.
