We in the Ceph Steering Committee are discussing when we want to target the Tentacle release for, as we find ourselves in an unusual scheduling situation: * Historically, we have targeted our major release in early Spring. I believe this was initially aligned to the Ubuntu LTS release. (With cephadm and containerization I'm not sure this is particularly relevant any more?) Please do not assume everyone runs ceph in containers so the OS doesn't matter, we and others run ceph using the supplied rpms and debs.
Fully agree with Janne on the container assumption comment. The OS release alignment and upgrade avenue on bare machines is of utmost importance for us. Milan -- Milan Kupcevic Research Computing Lead Storage Engineer Harvard University HUIT, University Research Computing
