In this chapter you will have learnt about the various deployment methods of Ceph that are available and the differences between them. You will now also have a basic understanding of how Ansible works and how to deploy a Ceph cluster with it. It would be advisable at this point to continue investigating and practicing deployment and configuration of Ceph with Ansible, so that you are confident to use it in production environments. The rest of this book will also make several assumptions that you have fully understood the contents of this chapter in order to manipulate the configuration of Ceph.
