This document summarizes Patrick McGarry's presentation on Ceph in the ecosystem. The presentation introduced Ceph's role in various communities and open source projects, how to get involved in the Ceph community through code contributions and mailing lists, and Ceph's integrations with Linux distributions, orchestration tools, and cloud platforms like OpenStack and CloudStack. The presentation concluded by thanking attendees and inviting any questions or comments.

10. Orchestration
10
The new hotness
Procedural, Ruby
Written in Ruby, this
is more of the dev-
side of DevOps.
Once you get past
the learning curve
it’s powerful though.
Ansible
PuppetChef
Salt
Model-driven
Aimed more at the
sysadmin, this
procedural tool has
a very wide
penetration (even
on Windows!)
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
11
MOAR hotness
Canonical unleashed
Language
agnostic, this tool can
totally encapsulate a
service. Can also

Others joining in!
Custom provisioning
and
orchestration, just
one example of how
busy this corner of
the market is.
Dell’s in the game
Complete
operations platform
that can dive all the
way down to

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.
