Hi Anthony, thanks for your inputs. i wanted to evaluate the interests in our community for a new release of ceph-deploy. so i will try to cut a new release of ceph-deploy to address the python3 support. but in the long run, i think we will only maintain ceph-ansible, and cephadm would be the recommended way to deploy a Ceph cluster in the long run. as we know, "every mail client sucks" =) but it'd be a pain to maintain 3 tools for deploying at the same time. even if one of them does not suck in some cases. > > > > > On Aug 26, 2020, at 10:16 PM, kefu chai <tchaikov@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > > > sorry for cross-posting. i sent this mail to ceph-maintainers two > > months ago, but got no responses so far. but after reading the > > comments in https://github.com/ceph/ceph-deploy/pull/496, i think i > > should check with ceph-devel as well. so i am forwarding this mail to > > ceph-devel for more inputs. > > > > ---------- Forwarded message --------- > > From: kefu chai <tchaikov@xxxxxxxxx> > > Date: Thu, Jun 4, 2020 at 6:39 PM > > Subject: is ceph-deploy still used? > > To: <ceph-maintainers@xxxxxxx> > > Cc: Neha Ojha <nojha@xxxxxxxxxx>, Josh Durgin <jdurgin@xxxxxxxxxx>, > > Brad Hubbard <bhubbard@xxxxxxxxxx>, James Page <james.page@xxxxxxxxxx> > > > > > > hi ceph maintainers, > > > > when reviewing ceph-deploy PRs, i am wondering why are we still > > maintaining this tool. as IIUC, we are supposed to deploy ceph using > > the Ansible playbooks offered by ceph-ansble[0]. and in future, we are > > more likely to deploy a ceph cluster using cephadm[1]. > > > > so the question is, are you still packaging / using ceph-deploy? > > > > cheers, > > > > -- > > [0] https://github.com/ceph/ceph-ansible > > [1] https://ceph.io/ceph-management/introducing-cephadm/ > > > > -- > > Regards > > Kefu Chai > > > > > > -- > > Regards > > Kefu Chai > > _______________________________________________ > > Dev mailing list -- dev@xxxxxxx > > To unsubscribe send an email to dev-leave@xxxxxxx > -- Regards Kefu Chai _______________________________________________ Dev mailing list -- dev@xxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to dev-leave@xxxxxxx
