In this chapter, you learned about the different storage protocols that exist and how they match to Ceph's capabilities. You also learned the protocols that are best suited for certain roles, and should be able to make informed decisions when selecting them.
Having worked through the examples, you should also have a firm understanding of how to export Ceph storage via iSCSI, NFS, and SMB to enable non-native Ceph clients to consume Ceph storage.
Finally, you should also understand the requirements for being able to design and build a resilient failover cluster that can be used to deliver highly available Ceph storage to non-native clients.
In the next chapter we will look at the different types of RADOS pool types and the different types of Ceph storage which can be provisioned.
