Hey Eugen,

AFAIK the Ceph NVMe-oF Gateway superseded the iSCSI one: it's actively maintained, more performant, scalable, secure and better integrated with the Ceph management & observability framework.

I'm curious: what's the target platform/use case for iSCSI that NVMe/TCP cannot fulfill?

Kind Regards,

Ernesto

Hi,

could someone clarify if using iscsi via cephadm is still supported or
not? According to [0] it's "in maintenance" since November 2022, so no
active development. But it's still documented in all active releases
and can be deployed in Squid or Tentacle (though I haven't checked if
it actually works).
Is it still supported to use iSCSI?

Thanks!
Eugen
