Are you looking for an efficient and sustainable storage system? Ceph is the answer. This book will guide you through the basics of Ceph to its advanced features so that you can design, implement, and manage your Ceph cluster effectively.

Key Features

• Explore Ceph’s architecture in detail
• Implement a Ceph cluster successfully and gain deep insights into its best practices
• Leverage the advanced features of Ceph, including erasure coding, tiering, and BlueStore

Book Description

This Learning Path will provide you with a comprehensive understanding of Ceph storage solutions, from the basics to the advanced features. You will learn how to plan, deploy, and manage your Ceph cluster, monitor its health, improve its performance, and troubleshoot issues.

The book starts with an introduction to Ceph’s architecture and core projects, helping you to set up your Ceph cluster. You will then discover how Ceph integrates with OpenStack, Glance, Manila, Swift, and Cinder, along with federated architecture and CephFS. Later on, you will study key areas of Ceph including BlueStore, erasure coding, and cache tiering. Finally, you will learn to develop applications that use Librados and distributed computations with shared object classes, optimize Ceph, its supporting infrastructure, fix issues, and more.

By the end of this Learning Path, you will have practical experience in operating Ceph in a production environment.

This Learning Path includes content from the following Packt products:

• Ceph Cookbook by Michael Hackett, Vikhyat Umrao and Karan Singh
• Mastering Ceph by Nick Fisk
• Learning Ceph, Second Edition by Anthony D’Atri, Vaibhav Bhembre and Karan Singh

What you will learn

• Understand the benefits of using Ceph as a storage solution
• Combine Ceph with OpenStack, Cinder, Glance, and Nova components
• Set up a test cluster with Ansible and virtual machine with VirtualBox
• Develop solutions with Librados and shared object classes
• Configure BlueStore and see its interaction with other configurations
• Tune, monitor, and recover storage systems effectively
• Build an erasure-coded pool by selecting intelligent parameters

Who this book is for

If you are a developer, system administrator, storage professional, or cloud engineer who wants to understand how to deploy a Ceph cluster, this Learning Path is ideal for you. Basic knowledge of storage systems and GNU/Linux will be beneficial.
