Dear Ceph Developers and Users, I was wondering if there is any download location for preinstalled virtual machine images with the latest release of ceph. Preferably 4 different images with Ceph-OSD, Ceph-Mon, Ceph-MDS and last but not least a Ceph-Client with iscsi target server installed. But since the latter is the client, I guess any distro would do. If this doesn’t exist, maybe it’s a great idea for distribution from the ceph.com website. I could just startup an image like ceph-osd on any hypervisor to add its local storage via disk passthrough to my ceph “private cloud”, and just distribute some monitors and metadata servers over the rest of the hypervisors. Packages like this can be kept small (like using slitaz forexample – since this one performs best on hyper-v hypervisors). Any Ideas?
I don't think it should be used that way. If you want an image where you can simply play with Ceph I'm ok with that for testing purposes, but an Image which you actually take in production? No I'd rather not.
Also, who's going to maintain it? Everybody around the Ceph project is kind of busy with Ceph itself, so I don't see a lot of headroom for doing something like this.
I'd suggest you create a Ubuntu image for yourself with the Ceph packages installed, after spinning such an image up it's a matter of minutes before you have a running Ceph cluster using ceph-deploy.
