Title: I needed this guided intro to what was important for Ceph
Review: A great crash-course getting started introduction to getting into Ceph. While Vagrant and ansible deployment for the test lab glossed over a lot of the “how-to” I’d like to have seen, it was great at getting a working environment going quickly to start hands on with. Much of that deployment is very re-usable as well and you learn a lot by digging in and tweaking it. But, past the headlong rush of deployment, there is a well paced step through everything with a lot of immediately usable concept followed by tips and use. This is a great companion to the Ceph Cookbook from the same group and I am extremely glad I got them both together. Each stands alone but does work well with the other. Despite being for a few revs back version of Ceph, it is current enough to still be practical and useful and I was able to put this book to work for real useful results at work right away. I tried reading the well written Ceph docs from the project itself, but it was easy to get lost in the maze. This book was a straight path through and past the parts of Ceph that made the docs much more useful much more quickly.

Title: A lot of technical info.
Review: The only problem is that Ceph keeps evolving. As soon as any book is published on it, it is obsolete because Ceph has evolved.

Title: Good deep dive into ceph
Review: I’m a ceph hobbyist, and familiar with other distributed file systems. I purchased this book to learn more in depth about the ceph cluster I run at home on a few nodes supporting a kubernetes cluster.After having a disk go bad, and having a bit truble of trouble working through the repair (which was successful) I thought I should learn more detail.This book did a great job of increasing my knowledge about how ceph works, the major components and features.. I am now able to do basic administrative operations, though I probably won’t deploy code I still thought it was useful to see what was possible.

Review: Das Buch ist gut lesbar, man kann es recht schnell durcharbeiten. Es empfiehlt schon ein wenig Hands-On-Erfahrung zu haben, fängt dann aber bei 0 an und besteht aus Unmengen Kommandozeilen-Screenshots, die die Installation oder Konfiguration diverse Komponenten und Optionen erklären. Ohne diesem “Füllmaterial” wäre das Buch gefühlt halb so umfangreich. Bei den komplexeren Themen wurde meines Erachtens eine gute Mischung aus Tiefgang und verständlicher Erläuterung für den Alltag gewählt. Der Ceph Object Storage, ein großes und komplexes (aber wichtiges) Thema für sich, fehlt völlig — das darf nicht sein!Es gibt keine echte Alternative, und für einen Einstieg durchaus geeignet. Der Schreibstil ist super, hätte man die unnötigen Konfigurationsanleitungen durch eine brauchbare Object-Storage-Einführung ersetzt, wären die fünf Sterne voll verdient.

Review: The author knows Ceph and I learnt a great deal from the book. However, it was more effort understanding the author’s points than it should have been:1. The author makes pretty demanding assumptions of your knowledge of Ceph2. Material is presented in strange ways, e.g. Chapter 4 covers exporting CephFS via NFS but CephFS is only described properly in the following chapter. Similarly, chapter 3 describes how to upgrade filestore to BlueStore which might be useful but is better relegated to an appendix or later in the book when the basic functionality of Ceph has been described.3. Getting the code to work was a bit of a struggle4. Some mistakes, e.g. in Chapter 5 where the author describes how to set up a metadata service (MDS), the screen shots seem to show the installation of the Rados Gateway (RGW)
