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?
Hi Nico,
I think there is - and to some extent it is there already:
http://ceph.com/docs/master/install/manual-deployment/
Several of us have used these instructions to come up with quick
scripted deployments when required (e.g to test key-value backends, or
just build a test cluster really quickly).
Cheers
Mark
