It changes the way you troubleshoot, but I don't find it more difficult in the issues I have seen and had. Even today without containers, all services can be co-located within the same hosts (mons,mgrs,osds,mds).. Is there a situation you've seen where that has not been the case?

The shift to containers makes sense, as this is the general direction that the industry as a whole is taking. I would suggest giving cephadm a try, it's relatively straight forward and significantly faster for deployments then ceph-ansible is.

Hi,

I caught up with Sage's talk on what to expect in Pacific (
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PVtn53MbxTc ) and there was no mention
of ceph-ansible at all.

Is it going to continue to be supported? We use it (and uncontainerised
packages) for all our clusters, so I'd be a bit alarmed if it was going
to go away...

Regards,

Matthew
