The Ceph developer summit is already behind us and wow! so many good things are around the corner!
During this online event, we discussed the future of the Firefly release (planned for February 2014).
During the last OpenStack summit in Hong Kong, I had the opportunity to discuss with Sage a new feature that might go into Firefly.
This was obviously discussed during the CDS too.
His plan is to add a multi-backend functionality for the filestore.
And trust me this will definitely bring Ceph to another level.
The summit was exciting and full of good things and announcements.
We had great Cinder sessions and an amazing Ceph/OpenStack integration session.
I’ve led the Ceph/OpenStack integration session with Josh Durgin (Inktank).
We had a good participation from the audience.
I would like to specially thank Sage Weil, Haomai Wang, Edward Hope-Morley for their good inputs.
The main purpose of this session was to gather ideas to improve the Ceph integration into Openstack.
Eventually, we built a draft of the Icehouse’s roadmap.
For those of you who were not attending the session and are curious to learn more about what’s going to happen in the next few months this article is for you!
