[qa][devstack][ceph][cinder][manila][nova][glance] Cleaning up the old package based ceph installer
Hello,
For a long time we've had multiple ways of deploying ceph for devstack environments in single and over multiple nodes to test integration with nova, cinder, manila, glance and rgw. Of late, we've preferred using the ceph community's preferred installation method: using the ceph orchestrator via its cephadm API.
For OpenStack services, it really shouldn't matter _how_ ceph is deployed; and so I wanted to clean up the devstack plugin project to just have one installation method: cephadm. This installation method has been stable since the 2024.1 release cycle; so if there are no objections, I'd love to delete a bunch of code to deploy ceph via packages (apt/rpm) and with docker/podman containers. No new devstack options are _required_ unless you want to customize things. There's an integrated job, several cinder, manila and nova jobs that use both all-in-one and multi-node test jobs with cephadm.
Any objections?
Thanks, Goutham

Thank you Goutham for working on this. +1 to remove the package based deploy. cephadm is pretty stable at this point and it covers all the use cases that devstack/lib/ceph used to take care of. I'll keep following the cleanup topic and comment in case of issues, but in general I'm in favor of only keeping a single deployment mechanism based on cephadm.
Thanks, Goutham
