What about putting it in a datacenter near them? Or move everything out to some provider that allows you to have both. -----Original Message----- From: LuD j [mailto:luds.jerome@xxxxxxxxx] Sent: maandag 17 december 2018 21:38 To: ceph-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Ceph on Azure ? Hello, We are working to integrate s3 protocol in our webs applications. The objective is to stop storing documents in bdd or filesytem but use s3's buckets in replacement. We already gave a try to ceph with rados gateway on physicals nodes, its working well. But we are also on Azure, and we can't get baremetals servers from them. We planned a high volumetry ~50TB/year + 20% each year which make ~80K Euro/year per Azure region. The storage cost on Azure is high and they don't provide any Qos on the network latency. We found a 2016 post from the gitlab infrastructure's team about the network latency issue on azure which confirms our concern: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/gl-infra/infrastructure/issues/678 Is there anyone using ceph in production on a cloud provider like Azure? _______________________________________________ ceph-users mailing list ceph-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.ceph.com/listinfo.cgi/ceph-users-ceph.com
