Hi everyone, First, this is a reminder that there is a Tech Talk tomorrow from Guy Margalit about NooBaa, a multi-cloud object data services platform: Jan 17 at 19:00 UTC https://bluejeans.com/908675367 Why, you might ask? There is a lot of interest among many Ceph developers and vendors to expand our multi-cloud, inter-cluster capabilities, especially in the object space. That would include replicating object data across cluster and public clouds, intelligently placing buckets, managing migration of buckets between sites, and allowing all of that (and more) to be driven by policy instead of human operators. We'd like to understand the level of interest in these capabilities among Ceph users, expanding the scope of Ceph to include management of data as well as the persistence part of storage we traditionally focused on, and ultimately determine whether and how we can integrate NooBaa and RGW to provide the full set of capabilities. If you're interested in the future direction of object storage, and how Ceph can play well in a multi-cloud, hybrid cloud world, I encourage you to join tomorrow or catch the recording! sage
