Ceph-Deploy is a brand-new deployment tool that allows users to begin operating a multi-node Ceph cluster in a matter of just minutes. This makes it really simple for administrators to check and proof their strategy for their storage system. In conjunction with other management tools like Chef, Puppet and Juju, setup and start-up is simple and intuitive.

The updated OS Ceph Cuttlefish also features enhancements to make sure operators obtain the highest available capacity. Ceph Cuttlefish accomplishes this goal by providing typical administrative functions required for running an object storage service available via a RESTful API. Administrators can now create, delete or modify users and their access levels. On top of these features, administrators can audit bucket and object data using the API. With this feature, users can more easily provision or bill using Ceph.
