How-to guides

This section contains guides to help you manage you have your already up and running Ceph cluster, taking you through the complete node lifecycle.

Installing and initialising Ceph

Perform a general install of Charmed Ceph access the web UI.

Managing your cluster

To ensure the health of your cluster, you need to scale your OSDs and MONs up or down, or replace OSD disks by recreating a Ceph OSD disk within a Charmed Ceph deployment. Depending on your MAAS nodes, you may need to change your change block devices.

Multi-site operations

Here we discuss setting up RADOS Gateway multi-site replication in a charmed Ceph deployment. Native replication between ceph-radosgw applications is supported via juju relations. By default, both primary and secondary RGW applications accept write operations (i.e. active-active replication is configured).

  1. charms
  2. cluster node operating system
