Coming soon to a jewel near you. What is it: Calamari is a REST API written in python. It seeks to give API endpoints like /cluster, /pool, and /osd and unsurprisingly allow HTTP requests to inspect and modify the resources a Ceph cluster provides. It simplifies access to the control-plane by making it available across the network. What is changing from the calamari I knew: Calamari is going on a diet. We're shedding dependencies on saltstack. The new version will be able to be run along-side Ceph Monitor processes on the monitor nodes. Where before calamari sought to place agents on all nodes on the clusters it managed and monitored; we now only care about the cluster we're setup on What is staying the same: The API -- http://calamari.readthedocs.org/en/latest/calamari_rest/index.html This is really the part I'm most excited about. If you've used calamari in the past I am committed to delivering compatibility in this release How can I try it out: * note this is still development code -- don't put it on production clusters * http://calamari.readthedocs.org/en/latest/development/dev_env.html#using-vagrant * release candidate packages will be available soon How can I help: * Contribute doc improvements * File bugs in https://github.com/ceph/calamari/issues * Fix bugs :) * help with packaging * contribute to the future direction by discussing this on the mailing list -- ceph-calamari@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx regards, Gregory -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe ceph-devel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
