Hi everyone, This is a reminder that Cephalocon Barcelona is coming up next month (May 19-20), and it's going to be great! We have two days of Ceph content over four tracks, including: - A Rook tutorial for deploy Ceph over SSD instances - Several other Rook and Kubernetes related talks, including self-service provisioning of object storage via kubernetes claim-like APIs - Two sessions on project Crimson, which is a reimplementation of the Ceph OSD using Seastar, DPDK, and SPDK, targeting high performance hardware and storage devices - Talks from Ceph power users with large-scale deployments from CERN, China Mobile, OVH, MeerKAT (part of the Square Kilometer Array), UWisc, and more. - How to build fast NVMe-based Ceph clusters on a reasonable budget - Using Ceph to provide NFS, CIFS, iSCSI service - The latest status of the Ceph management dashboard - Best practices for multi-cluster capabilities in RGW and RBD - S3 API compatibility in RGW, now and over the long term - and lots more! You can see the full schedule here (minus a few keynote slots that haven't been finalized yet): https://ceph.com/cephalocon/barcelona-2019/cephalocon-2019-barcelona-schedule/ There are going to be a lot of Ceph developers in Barcelona for the conference, both for Cephalocon (Sunday and Monday) and for KubeCon (Tuesday through Thursday). For more information (including registration), see https://ceph.com/cephalocon/barcelona-2019/ For those interested in Kubernetes and the intersection of storage with the leading container orchestration platform, KubeCon + CloudNativeCon runs directly after Cephalocon for the rest of the week. We're looking forward to seeing many of you there! sage
