I get the impression that more people on the ML are using a config management system. ceph-deploy questions seem to come from new users following the quick start guide.
I know both Puppet and Chef are fairly well represented here. I've seen a few posts about Salt and Ansible, but not much. Calamari is built on top of Salt, so I suppose that means Salt is well represented. I really haven't seen anything from the CFEngine or Bcfg2 camps.
I'm personally using Chef with a private fork of the Ceph cookbook. The Ceph cookbook doesn't use ceph-deploy, but it does use ceph-disk. Whenever I have problems with the ceph-disk command, I first go look at the cookbook to see how it's doing things.

Hello list,
I am a bit wondering about "ceph-deploy" and the development of ceph: I
see that many people in the community are pushing towards the use of
ceph-deploy, likely to ease use of ceph.
However, I have run multiple times into issues using ceph-deploy, when
it failed or incorrectly setup partitions or created a cluster of
monitors that never reach a qurom.
I have also recognised debugging and learning of ceph being much more
difficult with ceph-deploy, compared to going the manual way, because as
a user I miss a lot of information.
Furthermore as the maintainer of a configuration management system [0],
I am interested in knowing how things are working behind the scenes to
be able to automate them.
Thus I was wondering, if it is an option for the ceph community to
focus on both (the manual & ceph-deploy) way instead of just pushing
ceph-deploy?
Cheers,
Nico
p.s.: Loic, just taking your mail as an example, but it is not personal
- just want to show my point.
