Calculating the storage overhead of a replicated pool in Ceph is easy. You divide the amount of space you have by the “size” (amount of replicas) parameter of your storage pool.

I’ve just drafted a new release of python-cephclient on PyPi: v0.1.0.5.

I’m glad to announce that Ceph is now part of the mirrors iWeb provides.

I’ve always been a fan of nginx, it was love at first sight.

You might have heard this already but Redhat made an annoucement last week that they will be acquiring Inktank, the company behind Ceph.

The second meetup of Openstack Montreal, in collaboration with iWeb, Enovance and Savoir-faire Linux, will happen at the Université du Québec à Montréal (UQAM) monday march 17th.

Back on January 1st, I wrote about my initiative regarding a client for the Ceph REST API made in python.

After learning there was an API for Ceph, it was clear to me that I was going to write a client to wrap around it and use it for various purposes.

I learned that there was a Ceph REST API and I experimented with it a bit.

Like I mentioned in my previous post, Ceph has a REST API now. That opens a lot of possibilities.
