A general feedback here on the list, as the form does not fully allow for feedback: It feels the direction of the "Multi cluster manager" is like a ceph-ansible, ceph-deploy, cephadm pattern and it seems to be going into the direction of "reinvent the wheel, but not as good as the wheel has been". Instead of yet-another-tool, what we would really appreciate is better integration with existing stacks: - Have howtos / easy to use tools for prometheus integration - Have standard alerts defined that "every cluster should have" (notifications != alerts) - Staying with the prometheus example: - Best practices for setting labels, scraping, scraping intervals - Overview of ceph-native, cephadm and ceph-rook Ceph is a great software suite, but the mistake of trying to reinvent something better that is replacing industry standard solutions seems to be at hand. The only area where I see that a new "Multi cluster management tool" could really help is by aiding in mirroring/replication across clusters. Seeing what the status is of the replication, I would again more see in something like prometheus. Utilising multi tier clusters (c1: hdd, c2: ssd, c3: nvme) for smart storage distribution would be another, very interesting topic to tackle or to solve standard scenarios like "I have an active site A and B, I want data to be synchronised to site C" are real world problems that would benefit from a MCM. Just my 5 Rappen and looking forward to seeing what is coming out of the questionnaire.
