[openstack-dev] [Fuel} Separating Ceph pools depending on storage type

Right now, we create pools for images, compute, volumes, and radosgw
creates a bunch, all are assigned to the default crush map.

from the Ceph side, In order to create a pool where we could separate
it from another pool is to create a ruleset in the cursh map to
isolate the devices, then the pools can be mapped to it. So once we
create new ruleset, which pools would we map to it? do we create
separate ones for each type of service? Just cinder?

>From the fuel side, how would we distinguish between devices, and what
do we assign them to? a pool (limited) or a ruleset (flexible, but
then we need to code putting pools on them).

Then to put them together, we are going to need a data driven crush
tool writing, which I haven't seen.

While here there we also need to think about how we might want to set
replication between NodeGroups (which tend to logically map to a rack
in a spine and leaf topology).

I'd also loop in the puppet-openstack guys, because at some point I'd
like to switch to the upstream module
