Speaking of which guys, 
anything particular stability-wise regarding Ceph within OpenStack. It's officially not production-ready, yet it's often that solution that comes out when we are looking for data clustering. 
GlusterFS...yah or nay?

I'd like to have EVERYTHING in ceph, starting from glance images to nova-disk-images and volumes (cinder). And more important: Can this be done in a way so that my horizon-users can still use horizon (including snapshotting) without the need of abusing the command-line? :)
