Yes, this is common practice. Daniel On 12/22/2016 02:34 PM, Gerald Spencer wrote:
Wonderful, just as I expected. Do folks normally have several RGW running on individual machines with a load balancer at larger scales?

They are s3 and swift clients and only discuss with the RGW over HTTP. The RGW is the ceph client that does all the interaction with the ceph cluster.

Does the rgw server do this for clients? If I had 12 clients all talking through one gateway, would that server have to pass all of the objects from the clients to the cluster? And 48 osd nodes, each with 12 x 6TB drives and a PCIe write journal. That would be 576 osds in the cluster, with about 3.4PB raw...
