Storage clusters are the foundation of the Ceph system. Ceph storage hosts
|
|
|
|
|
provide object storage. Clients access the Ceph storage cluster directly from
|
|
|
|
|
an application (using ``librados``), over an object storage protocol such as
|
|
|
|
|
Amazon S3 or OpenStack Swift (using ``radosgw``), or with a block device
|

|
|
|
(using ``rbd``). To begin using Ceph, you must first set up a storage cluster.

You may deploy Ceph with our ``mkcephfs`` bootstrap utility for development
|
|
|
|
|
and test environments. For production environments, we recommend deploying
|
|
|
|
|
Ceph with the Chef cloud management tool.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If your deployment uses OpenStack, you will also need to install OpenStack.
