Frequently Asked Questions
|
|
============================
|
|
|
|
These questions have been frequently asked on the ceph-devel mailing
|
|
list, the IRC channel, and on the Ceph.com blog.
|
|
|
|
Is Ceph Production-Quality?
|
|
===========================
|
|
|
|
The definition of "production quality" varies depending on who you ask.
|
|
Because it can mean a lot of different things depending on how you want to
|
|
use Ceph, we prefer not to think of it as a binary term.
|
|
|
|
At this point we support the RADOS object store, radosgw, and rbd because
|
|
we think they are sufficiently stable that we can handle the support
|
|
workload. There are several organizations running those parts of the
|
|
system in production. Others wouldn't dream of doing so at this stage.
|
|
|
|
The CephFS POSIX-compliant filesystem is functionally-complete and has
|
|
been evaluated by a large community of users, but has not yet been
|
|
subjected to extensive, methodical testing.
|
|
|
|
We can tell you how we test, and what we support, but in the end it's
|
|
your judgement that matters most!
