Hi Ranjan, I don't want to intervene but I can testify that docker doesn't make the installation for a 3-node cluster overkill. I to have a 3-node cluster (to be expanded soon to 4 nodes). Cons of using cephadm (and thus docker): - You need to learn the basics of docker Pros: + cephadm works very easy. The time you spend on learing docker will be easely compensated by the small time you need to learn cephadm + Upgrading a manual installation is very tricky! Cephadm manages upgrades of ceph automatically. You only need to give the command (done it already two times). + If you need to upgrade your OS, will the manual installation still function? With cephadm the ceph processes inside the docker containers experience minimal impact with the upgrade of the os (dind't do an OS upgrade yet, but had this issue with other applications).
