Challenges
and objectives

For gridscale we have done work on their Ceph environment. gridscale has staff working on Ceph but found that 42on could help them in the challenges they now had with Ceph.

Update

gridscale wanted help to update their Ceph cluster through 4 major updates.

Automation

At some point, Ceph stopped updating automatically. They immediately wanted to fix this, as automation is key for gridscale.

Stay up-to-date

The objective is to keep working with the latest Ceph releases.

Distribute knowledge

gridscale wants the organization to distribute knowledge and to make sure the various parts of their organization learn over time in a continuous fashion.

Optimization

gridscale is working towards limiting clusters in size. This will make the maintenance less complex and limits the failure domain in case of issues with less data and customers affected, than if it is one large Ceph cluster.
