Hi! Is there any possibility to use cephadm without the container based tooling? (so to use bare-metal, with the packages directly installed on the machine) If not, is there something technical that prevents it to happen or just that there is a policy that container based deployment is the only best way to do it therefore cephadm will only use it this way? I ask this in the context of finding out that ceph-ansible is deprecated and that it should not be used, but i still need to use ansible for management and i think (so without factual experience) that bare metal services would be easier to manage after doing by hand deployment with cephadm Thank you!
