Absolutely agree with Janne about containers. We use the Centos 9 Stream RPMs and have no plans whatever to move to cephadm containers/orchestration. (Many reasons, but that's a different discussion).We in the Ceph Steering Committee are discussing when we want to target the Tentacle release for, as we find ourselves in an unusual scheduling situation: * Historically, we have targeted our major release in early Spring. I believe this was initially aligned to the Ubuntu LTS release. (With cephadm and containerization I'm not sure this is particularly relevant any more?)Please do not assume everyone runs ceph in containers so the OS doesn't matter, we and others run ceph using the supplied rpms and debs.
What matters to us is:
- properly tested packaging for the supported distributions,
especially the Category A ones (this is becoming more
problematic, especially in the python area)
- properly tested functionality
- prompt fixing of serious bugs, especially in the latest
production version (we haven't even been able to move to squid
yet because of the balancer pg-iteration bug). I'd love to see
all Ceph systems being able to move easily to the supported
releases (n, n-1) so that so much time isn't wasted on problems
with obsolete releases.
Some of the new things in tentacle sound great, but we need to
concentrate on the current basics first. Timescales for the new
features are a much more minor consideration for us.
Ceph is a fantastic product. Let's keep it that way.
