Hello, Ceph friends!

I hope your week is off to a great start. I wanted to let you know that our next Ceph Tech Talk is on Monday, May 11 at 9 AM PDT w/ Shraddha Agrawal.

Title: Containerized deployment of Ceph with KCLI

Abstract: Cephadm is the recommended approach for deploying Ceph clusters, but many developers still depend on bare metal environments for testing and development. In this session, Shraddha will introduce KCLI as a way to bridge that gap—making it easier to run Cephadm-powered clusters locally with minimal setup.

This talk is especially useful for developers looking to streamline their environments and reduce setup overhead.

The invite is on the Ceph Community Calendar: https://t.ly/CephTechTalks
