Where you are forced to isolate processes or you want your containers to scale or migrate automatically. But it is not like osd.23 is ever going to move from hosta to hostb. So you can not use the benefits of limiting cpu and memory resources, you cannot use the benefits of network isolation, you cannot use the benefits of migrating tasks, you cannot use the benefits of scaling tasks. And this applies to >90% of your processes (the osd's) In dedicated ceph cluster you create extra complexity and dependencies on storage of your container images. I guess the container images are 300MB 400MB for an osd or so (assuming they are el7)? I would say that ceph should start supporting something like alpine linux packages or so, so you have a rgw, monitor, mds that is only 20MB. Furthermore something needs to change in mon, mds and rgw design. Afik each rgw still requires a unique client id, which makes it not very friendly to scaling such a task. _______________________________________________ ceph-users mailing list -- ceph-users@xxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to ceph-users-leave@xxxxxxx
