Not a full answer to what you’re looking for, but something adjacent: https://ceph.io/en/news/blog/2025/rgw-tiering-enhancements-part1/

Perhaps you could invert the usual tiering logic and have your clients point at the Ceph RGW endpoint, but I suspect that wouldn’t meet you performance needs. However, here https://www.netapp.com/data-services/tiering/ I see a NetApp feature called BlueXP that appears to do this sort of tiering. The description is a big vague, but it speaks of cloud object storage and mentions AWS, so it seems quite plausible that it could be pointed at an RGW endpoint for tiering. > > > Hi all, > > We're exploring solutions to offload large volumes of data (on the order of > petabytes) from our NetApp all-flash storage to our more cost-effective, > HDD-based Ceph storage cluster, based on criteria such as: last access time > older than X years. > > Ideally, we would like to leave behind a 'stub' or placeholder file on the > NetApp side to preserve the original directory structure and potentially > enable some sort of transparent access or recall if needed.
