Application
|
2023-02-25 19:51:07 +00:00
|
|
|
|
More properly called a :term:`client`, an application is any program
|
2023-02-25 10:12:16 +00:00
|
|
|
|
external to Ceph that uses a Ceph Cluster to store and
|
|
|
|
|
replicate data.

:ref:`BlueStore<rados_config_storage_devices_bluestore>`
|
|
|
|
|
OSD BlueStore is a storage back end used by OSD daemons, and
|
|
|
|
|
was designed specifically for use with Ceph. BlueStore was
|
|
|
|
|
introduced in the Ceph Kraken release. In the Ceph Luminous
|
|
|
|
|
release, BlueStore became Ceph's default storage back end,
|
2023-02-19 11:33:51 +00:00
|
|
|
|
supplanting FileStore. BlueStore stores objects directly on
|
|
|
|
|
Ceph block devices without any file system interface.
|
|
|
|
|
Since Luminous (12.2), BlueStore has been Ceph's default
|
|
|
|
|
and recommended storage back end.

Bucket
|
|
|
|
|
In the context of :term:`RGW`, a bucket is a group of objects.
|
2023-02-24 01:07:12 +00:00
|
|
|
|
In a filesystem-based analogy in which objects are the
|
|
|
|
|
counterpart of files, buckets are the counterpart of
|
2023-02-23 05:53:39 +00:00
|
|
|
|
directories. :ref:`Multisite sync
|
|
|
|
|
policies<radosgw-multisite-sync-policy>` can be set on buckets,
|
|
|
|
|
to provide fine-grained control of data movement from one zone
|
2023-02-24 01:07:12 +00:00
|
|
|
|
to another zone.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The concept of the bucket has been taken from AWS S3. See also
|
|
|
|
|
`the AWS S3 page on creating buckets <https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/userguide/creating-buckets-s3.html>`_
|
|
|
|
|
and `the AWS S3 'Buckets Overview' page <https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/userguide/UsingBucket.html>`_.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
OpenStack Swift uses the term "containers" for what RGW and AWS call "buckets".

Ceph
|
2022-11-09 22:39:31 +00:00
|
|
|
|
Ceph is a distributed network storage and file system with
|
|
|
|
|
distributed metadata management and POSIX semantics.

Ceph Block Device
|
2022-12-25 04:02:29 +00:00
|
|
|
|
Also called "RADOS Block Device" and :term:`RBD`. A software
|
|
|
|
|
instrument that orchestrates the storage of block-based data in
|
|
|
|
|
Ceph. Ceph Block Device splits block-based application data
|
2022-11-05 05:34:20 +00:00
|
|
|
|
into "chunks". RADOS stores these chunks as objects. Ceph Block
|
|
|
|
|
Device orchestrates the storage of those objects across the
|
2022-12-25 04:02:29 +00:00
|
|
|
|
storage cluster.

Ceph Block Storage
|
2022-11-20 05:00:00 +00:00
|
|
|
|
One of the three kinds of storage supported by Ceph (the other
|
|
|
|
|
two are object storage and file storage). Ceph Block Storage is
|
|
|
|
|
the block storage "product", which refers to block-storage
|
|
|
|
|
related services and capabilities when used in conjunction with
|
|
|
|
|
the collection of (1) ``librbd`` (a python module that provides
|
|
|
|
|
file-like access to :term:`RBD` images), (2) a hypervisor such
|
|
|
|
|
as QEMU or Xen, and (3) a hypervisor abstraction layer such as
|
|
|
|
|
``libvirt``.

|
2022-11-07 13:55:53 +00:00
|
|
|
|
The Ceph manager daemon (ceph-mgr) is a daemon that runs
|
|
|
|
|
alongside monitor daemons to provide monitoring and interfacing
|
|
|
|
|
to external monitoring and management systems. Since the
|
2022-12-26 06:05:32 +00:00
|
|
|
|
Luminous release (12.x), no Ceph cluster functions properly
|
|
|
|
|
unless it contains a running ceph-mgr daemon.

Ceph Monitor
|
2022-10-11 16:49:13 +00:00
|
|
|
|
A daemon that maintains a map of the state of the cluster. This
|
|
|
|
|
"cluster state" includes the monitor map, the manager map, the
|
2022-12-26 06:05:32 +00:00
|
|
|
|
OSD map, and the CRUSH map. A Ceph cluster must contain a
|
|
|
|
|
minimum of three running monitors in order to be both redundant
|
|
|
|
|
and highly-available. Ceph monitors and the nodes on which they
|
|
|
|
|
run are often referred to as "mon"s. See :ref:`Monitor Config

Ceph Node
|
2022-11-21 16:49:49 +00:00
|
|
|
|
A Ceph node is a unit of the Ceph Cluster that communicates with
|
|
|
|
|
other nodes in the Ceph Cluster in order to replicate and
|
|
|
|
|
redistribute data. All of the nodes together are called the
|
|
|
|
|
:term:`Ceph Storage Cluster`. Ceph nodes include :term:`OSD`\s,
|
|
|
|
|
:term:`Ceph Monitor`\s, :term:`Ceph Manager`\s, and
|
|
|
|
|
:term:`MDS`\es. The term "node" is usually equivalent to "host"
|
|
|
|
|
in the Ceph documentation. If you have a running Ceph Cluster,
|
|
|
|
|
you can list all of the nodes in it by running the command
|
|
|
|
|
``ceph node ls all``.

Around 2013, there was an attempt by "research and industry"
|
|
|

|
(Sage's own words) to insist on using the term "OSD" to mean
|
|
|
|
|
only "Object Storage Device", but the Ceph community has always
|
|
|
|
|
persisted in using the term to mean "Object Storage Daemon" and
|
|
|
|
|
no less an authority than Sage Weil himself confirms in
|
|
|
|
|
November of 2022 that "Daemon is more accurate for how Ceph is
|
|
|
|
|
built" (private correspondence between Zac Dover and Sage Weil,

FQDN
|
|
|
|
|
**F**\ully **Q**\ualified **D**\omain **N**\ame. A domain name
|
|
|
|
|
that is applied to a node in a network and that specifies the
|
|
|
|
|
node's exact location in the tree hierarchy of the DNS.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In the context of Ceph cluster administration, FQDNs are often
|
|
|
|
|
applied to hosts. In this documentation, the term "FQDN" is
|
|
|
|
|
used mostly to distinguish between FQDNs and relatively simpler
|
|
|
|
|
hostnames, which do not specify the exact location of the host
|
|
|
|
|
in the tree hierarchy of the DNS but merely name the host.

OSD
|
2023-01-08 08:04:43 +00:00
|
|
|
|
Probably :term:`Ceph OSD`, but not necessarily. Sometimes
|
|
|
|
|
(especially in older correspondence, and especially in
|
|
|
|
|
documentation that is not written specifically for Ceph), "OSD"
|
|
|
|
|
means "**O**\bject **S**\torage **D**\evice", which refers to a
|
|
|
|
|
physical or logical storage unit (for example: LUN). The Ceph
|
|
|
|
|
community has always used the term "OSD" to refer to
|
|
|
|
|
:term:`Ceph OSD Daemon` despite an industry push in the
|
|
|
|
|
mid-2010s to insist that "OSD" should refer to "Object Storage
|
|
|
|
|
Device", so it is important to know which meaning is intended.

This is a unique identifier used to identify an OSD. It is

|
|
|
|
found in the OSD path in a file called ``osd_fsid``. The

|
|
|
|
term ``fsid`` is used interchangeably with ``uuid``

Period
|
|
|
|
|
In the context of :term:`RGW`, a period is the configuration
|
|
|
|
|
state of the :term:`Realm`. The period stores the configuration
|
|
|
|
|
state of a multi-site configuration. When the period is updated,
|
|
|
|
|
the "epoch" is said thereby to have been changed.

Also called "Ceph Object Gateway". The component of Ceph that

scrubs
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The processes by which Ceph ensures data integrity. During the
|
|
|
|
|
process of scrubbing, Ceph generates a catalog of all objects
|
|
|
|
|
in a placement group, then ensures that none of the objects are
|
|
|
|
|
missing or mismatched by comparing each primary object against
|
|
|
|
|
its replicas, which are stored across other OSDs. Any PG
|
|
|
|
|
is determined to have a copy of an object that is different
|
|
|
|
|
than the other copies or is missing entirely is marked
|
|
|
|
|
"inconsistent" (that is, the PG is marked "inconsistent").
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
There are two kinds of scrubbing: light scrubbing and deep
|
|
|
|
|
scrubbing (also called "normal scrubbing" and "deep scrubbing",
|
|
|
|
|
respectively). Light scrubbing is performed daily and does
|
|
|
|
|
nothing more than confirm that a given object exists and that
|
|
|
|
|
its metadata is correct. Deep scrubbing is performed weekly and
|
|
|
|
|
reads the data and uses checksums to ensure data integrity.

whenever privileged users must access systems that require

In the context of :term:`RGW`, a zone is a logical group that

consists of one or more :term:`RGW` instances. A zone's
|
|
|
|
|
configuration state is stored in the :term:`period`. See
