Thanks, Anthony, I appreciate the inline responses. I'm not sure what the etiquette is here, if I am to reply all or not, so please let me know for future reference.

Yes, by buckets I was referring to implementations.
As for the compatibility, I have a great example to reference. There is an open-source alternative to Notion, named Outline, and the screenshot below is directly from their self-hosting documentation (https://docs.getoutline.com/s/hosting/doc/file-storage-N4M0T6Ypu7):

I look at this and see that Ceph isn't even mentioned, so I decided this will not be the app that I test creating Rados Gateway.
Proxmox has a great UI for Ceph, with the exception that there is absolutely no reference to RGW, other than the documentation perhaps.
My setup is all Dell PowerEdge R740s running SAS SSDs 12Gbps, and each of them has a large Enterprise NVME. I have each SAS SSD configured as an OSD with the NVMe designated as the block.db. My performance is a mess now, that might be a topic for another thread. I would love to utilize the Rados Gateway for new software I am developing for our business.

Groovy. Welcome to Cephland.

This is increasingly common.

Yes, I believe so, though my Proxmox experience is limited.

By buckets do you mean implementations? That would be true. Ceph RGW is compatible with the majority of AWS S3 behaviors, most clients and libraries slot right in by specifying the endpoint.

What storage drives do you have? If you have mutliple, like SSDs and HDDs, TLC and QLC SSDs you’ll want to assign pools specifically.
