Dedicated links are not that difficult to come by anymore. It's mainly done with SDN. I know Megaport, for example, let's you provision virtual circuits to dozens of providers including Azure, AWS, and GCP. You can run several virtual circuits over a single ccross-connect.
I look forward to hearing your performance results running in cloud VMs, but I'm fairly confident it will be both sub-optimal and expensive.
Cheers,
Erik

Hello Marc,Unfortunatly we can't move from Azure so easily, we plan to open more and more azure region in the futur, so this strategy leads us to the ceph integration issue.Even if we had others datacenters near to them, I guess it would require dedicated network links between the ceph clients and the ceph cluster and we may not have the resources for this kind of architecture.We are going to try ceph on azure by deploying an small cluster and keep a eye on any performances issues._______________________________________________Le dim. 23 déc. 2018 à 14:46, Marc Roos <M.Roos@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> a écrit :
What about putting it in a datacenter near them? Or move everything out
to some provider that allows you to have both.

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?
