Preface

Chapter 4. Planning Your Deployment

This chapter describes a number of architectural and administrative decisions to make when planning your own Ceph deployment. Chapter 3,Hardware and Network Selection outlines many of the hardware choices one has when architecting a production Ceph storage solution. Here we'll concentrate on a number of decisions one must make as well when realizing production clusters:

  • Layout Decisions
  • Architectural Decisions
  • Operating System Decisions
  • Networking Decisions

We suggest that you read through this chapter now, then return after digesting Chapter 8:Ceph Architecture - Under the Hood, which elaborates on many of the ideas we will touch upon. That deeper understanding of the processes and dynamics of a production Ceph deployment will stand you well when making decisions regarding your deployments.
