• 10 open source tools that platform, SRE and DevOps engineers should consider in 2024.

  Ceph stands out in storage technology, offering a scalable and reliable solution where traditional systems fall short. It supports object, block, and file storage in one system, adaptable for various environments including on-premises, cloud, or container-native setups. Key benefits include scalability, enabled by the CRUSH algorithm, allowing for expansion without typical downtime. This makes Ceph suitable for... - Source: dev.to / 4 months ago

• iSCSI over WAN / backup of remote site

  With that being said, you better take a look at something more WAN optimized and more secure, like S3 storage. You can build the S3 storage (and gain immutability) using something like MinIO (https://min.io/) or Ceph (https://ceph.io/en/) or check out Object First Ootbi offerings - https://objectfirst.com/object-storage/ (I work for them).

• What's the best AWS S3 protocol alternative?

  I believe Ceph [1] could be a good alternative. It can be self hosted and I believe some cloud providers also offer it. Here are some differences between S3 and Ceph [2]. [1] - https://ceph.io/en/ [2] - https://www.lightbitslabs.com/blog/ceph-storage/. - Source: Hacker News / 11 months ago

• First Time NAS buyer for Digital Textile Printing Factory

  There's also cool systems like https://ceph.io/en/ that could be efficient if willing to set up and learn. Source: over 1 year ago

• Can you run NAS system in a docker on Ubuntu?

  Docker is just a chroot jail, so you're better off skipping that layer and running that directly on the hardware. The only exception I'd personally make for this is if you're running Ceph, but Ceph is more distributed block storage than remote file storage. Source: almost 2 years ago

• My director is mad that I accepted another internal position for a 26% raise when he was told he could only give me a 10%

  At your own pace, jump into orchestration using a Kubernetes distribution out there; but really, only do that fairly late in the game (e.g. OpenShift). Sadly, it's quite a jump from containers to orchestration, and there is no "smooth" in-between. Maybe as a prelude, you can look into etcd configuration clusters and Ceph storage clusters first, e.g. Using a bunch of VMs on your machine, or a few Raspberry Pis.... Source: almost 2 years ago

• What percentage of cloud storage is tape?

  Google has a storage system called Colossus. It's the second generation of the "Google File System". Things like Ceph are based on these ideas. This is where all the live data in things like Drive are stored. Source: almost 3 years ago

• Can someone tell me if this is possible or even a good idea?

  My friends and I all use Linux and often use each others laptops or desktops when we forget ours. Then I had the idea to install Linux on a USB so I could have all my stuff and use my system on any system. Which was cool but then I ran into the same problem of forgetting it sometimes. So my new idea (which I have no idea how I'd achieve) is to use something like MooseFS or ceph or some distributed filesystem for... Source: almost 3 years ago

• A Ceph War Story

  It's a shame because the documentation page [2] has an amazing, concise and precise description of what it's doing : Ceph uniquely delivers object, block, and file storage in one unified system. It takes one line, why is it not there? [1] https://ceph.io/. - Source: Hacker News / about 3 years ago

• Two node HA filesystem

  You probably want to change your writes to use object storge. Then you can use an object storage provider, either external, or something like Minio or Ceph. Source: about 3 years ago
