Semi correct, and semi incorrect IMHO. Orchestration enables automation that's very difficult to do outside of containers. This includes stuff like safety checks that can be manually done, but difficult to always get right, 100% of the time by a person. As well as automated upgrade procedures(similar risk), best practices for setting up security(similar risk of misconfiguration) best practice monitoring, etc etc. You can do that all your self, but its a lot of effort and a lot of risk getting it wrong at least some of the time. In my experience, learning to deal with its quirks/different ways of doing things is less effort/risk then ensuring everything else is done properly, manually. Just my $0.02.

Check twice before you click! This email originated from outside PNNL. Hi Eugen, thanks for your answer. I don't want to use the cephadm tool because it needs docker. I don't like it because it's total overkill for our small 3-node cluster. I'd like to avoid the added complexity, added packages, everything. Just another thing I have to learn in detaisl about in case things go wrong. The monitor service is running but the logs don't say anything :-( Okay, but at least I know now that it should work in principle without the mgr.
