MicroCeph¶
MicroCeph is the easiest way to get up and running with Ceph.
MicroCeph is a lightweight way of deploying and managing a Ceph cluster. Ceph is a highly scalable, open-source distributed storage system designed to provide excellent performance, reliability, and flexibility for object, block, and file-level storage.
Ceph cluster management is streamlined by simplifying key distribution, service placement, and disk administration for quick, effortless deployment and operations. This applies to clusters that span private clouds, edge clouds, as well as home labs and single workstations.
MicroCeph is focused on providing a modern deployment and management experience to Ceph administrators and storage software developers.
In this documentation¶
MicroCeph can be deployed and managed as a standalone snap or as a charm as part of a Juju model.
The microceph snap is a self-contained, secure and dependency-free
Linux app package used to deploy and manage a Ceph cluster. If you are
new to MicroCeph, start here.
The microceph charms take care of installing, configuring and
managing MicroCeph on cloud instances managed by Juju.
