Ceph Tutorial
Prerequisites:
— Knowledge of storage concepts
— Basic tcp/ip understanding
— Basic Linux admin and command line
This course provides a full and concise introduction of the Ceph storage system and a simplified hands-on experience installing and configuring a Ceph Storage Cluster.After completing this course, the learner will have an overall understanding of the Ceph distributed storage system, and its major components: the Ceph Storage Cluster (RADOS), the Ceph Object Gateway (RGW), the Ceph Block Device (RBD), and the Ceph File System (CephFS).
Module 1: Introduction
Module 2: Ceph history and components
Module 3: Ceph data placement (CRUSH & pools)
Module 4: Ceph Object Storage (RADOS)
Module 5: Ceph Block Storage (aka Rados BlockDevice)
Module 6: Ceph File System (CephFS)
Module 7: Creating a Ceph Cluster
Kinetic Open Storage Tutorial
Learn how to download, install, write programs, and modify the Seagate Open Storage solution. Test against the simulator and drives. Finally, see how Kinetic can be used for Ceph Object storage. The requirements of this tutorial is a laptop that can run Java and, for the Ceph demonstration, a laptop that can run a Linux virtual machine.
