Over the years, our enterprise data centre users have told us how much they love the end to end experience of an application-centric solution like Juju to manage their entire infrastructure. Juju is a software operator framework that abstracts the specifics of operating complex software and makes it simple and straightforward to deploy, operate and relate complimentary pieces of software, reducing cost and providing flexibility. Charmed Ceph uses Juju to manage the entire lifecycle of deployment, configuration, and operations of a Ceph cluster.
But, what if the use case is different? Maybe all that is required is simple and repeatable Ceph storage deployments. For example:
- At an Edge location where there isn’t much other infrastructure.
- In situations where the person deploying the hardware and software isn’t a Ceph expert.
- In cases where a developer needs a real, local Ceph cluster that can be deployed and torn-down easily for development work.
