8. Project Intersection
You can always use more friends
Kernel
XenServer
Kernel clients for
RBD and CephFS.
Active development
as a Linux file
system.
STGT
Commercially
supported product
from Citrix.
Recently Open
Sourced. Still a bit
of a tech preview.
VMWare
One of the Linux
iSCSI target
frameworks.
Emulates SBC (disk),
SMC (jukebox), MMC

9. Project Intersection
MOAR projects
Hadoop
Samba
Drop in replacement
for HDFS. Others are
also expanding that
work using RGW
Ganesha
Upstream in
Samba. Can’t
export CephFS
directly via NFS or
Samba, but can via
a gateway.
Wireshark
Work being done to
plug Ganesha into
CephFS for NFS and
CIFS. Also potential
for RBD connector
for same.
Early work
available from
Inktank, but more
community work
coming in.

10. Orchestration
The new hotness
Chef
Puppet
Procedural, Ruby
Written in Ruby, this
is more of the devside of DevOps.
Once you get past
the learning curve
it’s powerful though.
Ansible
Model-driven
Aimed more at the
sysadmin, this
procedural tool has
a very wide
penetration (even
on Windows!)
Salt
Agent, whole stack
Using the built-in
OpenSSH in your OS,
this super easy tool
goes further up the
stack than most.
Fast, 0MQ
Using ZeroMQ, this
tool is designed for
massive scale and
fast, fast, fast.
Unfortunately 0MQ
has no built in
encryption.

11. Orchestration
MOAR hotness
Juju
ComodIT
Canonical unleashed
Language agnostic,
this tool can totally
encapsulate a service.
Can also handle
provisioning all the
way to bare metal.
Crowbar
Others joining in!
Custom provisioning
and orchestration,
just one example of
how busy this corner
of the market is.
ceph-deploy
Dell’s in the game
Complete
operations platform
that can dive all the
way down to
BIOS/RAID level.
Doing it w/o a tool
If you prefer not to
use a tool, Ceph
gives you an easy
way to deploy your
cluster by hand.
