sorry for cross-posting. i sent this mail to ceph-maintainers two months ago, but got no responses so far. but after reading the comments in https://github.com/ceph/ceph-deploy/pull/496, i think i should check with ceph-devel as well. so i am forwarding this mail to ceph-devel for more inputs. ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: kefu chai <tchaikov@gmail.com> Date: Thu, Jun 4, 2020 at 6:39 PM Subject: is ceph-deploy still used? To: <ceph-maintainers@ceph.io> Cc: Neha Ojha <nojha@redhat.com>, Josh Durgin <jdurgin@redhat.com>, Brad Hubbard <bhubbard@redhat.com>, James Page <james.page@ubuntu.com> hi ceph maintainers, when reviewing ceph-deploy PRs, i am wondering why are we still maintaining this tool. as IIUC, we are supposed to deploy ceph using the Ansible playbooks offered by ceph-ansble[0]. and in future, we are more likely to deploy a ceph cluster using cephadm[1]. so the question is, are you still packaging / using ceph-deploy? cheers, -- [0] https://github.com/ceph/ceph-ansible [1] https://ceph.io/ceph-management/introducing-cephadm/ -- Regards Kefu Chai -- Regards Kefu Chai
