Hello all, This is an invite to all interested to join a working group being formed for 2020 Ceph User Survey planning. The focus is to augment the questionnaire coverage, explore survey delivery formats and to expand the survey reach to audience across the world. The popularity and adoption of Ceph is growing steadily and so are the deployment options. Survey feedback has certainly helped the community to focus on user's asks and make Ceph better for their needs. This time we want to make the survey experience more enriching to the community of developers and to the user community.
As a sample, here are a few questions that have been collected to help build better hardware options for Ceph across Enterprise and CSPs. The working group can help refine them for content and importance. There will be questions in other categories like Ceph configuration that members will help assess for relevance and inclusion and find some innovative approaches to reach boarder audience. Do you prefer single socket servers for Ceph OSD nodes? Which drive form factors are important to you (NVMe drives: U.2 or ruler (E1.L))? How many drives per server fits your need? What drive capacities are important to you? Do you separate metadata and data on different classes of media? Do you use Optane 3D XPoint or NAND for BlueStore metadata? Which caching method, client side vs OSD side is more useful to you? As always, many many thanks to Mike Perez who is driving the user survey effort and making it better every passing year. Thank you, Anantha Adiga _______________________________________________ ceph-users mailing list -- ceph-users@ceph.io To unsubscribe send an email to ceph-users-le...@ceph.io
