As a starting point the current idea is to use something like: 4-6 nodes with 12x 12tb disks each 128G Memory AMD EPYC 7302P 3GHz, 16C/32T 128GB RAM Something to discuss is - EC or go with 3 replicas. We'll use bluestore with compression. - Do we need something like Intel Optane for WAL / DB or not? Since we started using ceph we're mostly subscribed to SSDs - so no knowlege about HDD in place.
