Hi Oliver,
Due to recent changes in CEPH Nautilus and Octopus (new Orchestrator APIs), we decided to switch to Rook. It is still in an experimental stage on our platform, but it seems promising.
Cheers,
Jerome

Hi,
I'm still in the process of preparing a OpenStack POC. I'm 100% sure that I want to use CEPH and so I purchased the book Mastering CEPH 2nd edition. First of all, It's a really good book. It basically explains the various methods how ceph can be deployed and also the components that CEPH is build of. So I played around a lot with ceph-ansible and rook in my virtualbox environment. I also started to play with tripleo ceph deployment, although I haven't had the time yet to sucessfully deploy a openstack cluster with CEPH. Now I'm wondering, which of these 3 methods should I use?
rook
ceph-ansible
tripleo
I also want to use CEPH for NFS and CIFS (Samba) as we have plenty of VMs running under vSphere that currently consume storage from a ZFS storage via CIFS and NFS. I don't know if rook can be used for this. I have the feeling that it is purely meant to be used for kubernetes? And If I would like to have CIFS and NFS maybe tripleo is not capable of enabling these features in CEPH? So I would be left with ceph-ansible?
Any suggestions are very welcome.
Best Regards,
Oliver
