Summary

Storage provisioning is the most frequent operation a storage administration has to perform. As compared to traditional enterprise storage systems, you no longer need to procure and manage multiple storage systems for different storage types. Ceph uniquely delivers object, block, and file storage from a single unified system. In this chapter, we learned how to configure and provision RADOS block devices, Ceph filesystems, and the Ceph object storage. It's been more than two decades that the block device and filesystem storage types exist; however, object storage is fairly new is gaining momentum now due to Amazon S3 and Swift. Ceph extends its support to S3 and Swift APIs. In this chapter, we also learned the configuration of S3 and Swift separately, followed by their usage. In the next chapter, we will learn about Ceph service management and the Ceph cluster.
