Ceph user story
As a user I would like to run Ceph on my Metropolis cluster. I'm fine with either Metropolis providing a high-level API (eg. operator, gRPC call) for this, or with some set of manifest files I can base my deployment on.
As a developer, this probably means we would need:
- Some way to provision OSDs, either deferring to
ceph-volume prepareor replicate that work. - Some way to start OSDs, giving it access to block devices. Then the OSD pods need to either be able to run
ceph-volume activate, or some automation should give it directory layouts that are immediately usable withceph-osd. - Some way to define a storage class that is backed by some ceph mons and FSID.
- Some way to define PVCs pointing to that storage class and an operator that responds to this and actually provisions/rbd maps them.
- CephFS support for the above.
Tangential discussion: can we make Ceph fast? See discussion about capacitors, transactions, queues, flushing...
