For vanilla CentOS and download.ceph.com packages, yes, you need EPEL. If you are using ceph-deploy, you can configure it to use a different repo (e.g. storage-SIG) with the `--repo-url` flag, or by configuring the cephdeploy.conf file (see http://docs.ceph.com/ceph-deploy/docs/conf.html ) That would skip installing EPEL because it is understood that a user wants to have explicit control on the source of packages.
