Hey all, Crimson's main goal for '23 was completing snapshots, scrub and establishing a functional test suite. With the current status of supporting RBD workloads on replicated pools with a stable test coverage - we are ready now to move on to the next phase. As Crimson's main objective is to allow Ceph to keep up with highly performant network and storage devices, the next goal will be a concerted performance focus. Great progress around this area has already begun by Intel's contributors and others [1], the collaboration will continue with joint and renewed efforts. The first planned steps would be to create a performance baseline relative to the classical OSD and investigate existing bottlenecks. The new meeting to discuss the ongoing progress will happen on every Tuesday, 7:30 am PT [2], right before Crimson's standup. Please feel free to join!
