Hi all, We in the Ceph Steering Committee are discussing when we want to target the Tentacle release for, as we find ourselves in an unusual scheduling situation: * Historically, we have targeted our major release in early Spring. I believe this was initially aligned to the Ubuntu LTS release. (With cephadm and containerization I'm not sure this is particularly relevant any more?)
Sage Weil explicitly mentioned this as the reason to align Ceph releases with OS distributions during Cephalocon Barcelona. The Mimic release did not get picked up because of this misalignment.
I would still vote for having this aligned. While you can run ceph in containers, there is also a need (at least for us) to have ceph packages installed on the physical hardware as well (monitoring related). Without having OS packages you can't just use cephadm-ansible to prepare the physical hosts. And if you are not running in containers but using packages it will matter even more so.
