Hi,
I cannot say if the overview is perfect. Among the compelling reasons,
staying on a supported release may be one of them and Quincy is no
longer one. BTW it suffers the same problem as 18.2.6 in its last minor
and I understood an exception has been made to the EOL policy to get a
patch out but it may not have been the case...
My feeling about the 18.2.x difficulties is that at least the last one
with 18.2.7 is not really a Ceph problem but a packaging one. And I'm
afraid it will happen again as long as RH packages are built against
CentOS. As CentOS is now upstream (instead of downstream) to RHEL, it
means it delivers packages that are not in RHEL or any derivatives (that
are downstream) and thus Ceph may not work on them. IMO, the only way to
fix it would be to build Ceph packages on RHEL or one of its derivative
(if there is a license issue with RHEL). For this particular point, I
think the main solution is to rely on container-based Ceph, i.e.
cephadm, as discussed in another thread.
Best regards,
Michel

Absolutely. I always say to upgrade production when there’s a compelling
reason. A new dot release — of any software — is not in isolation compelling.
Bug fixes may be, as may new features.
That said, we only learn of issues when new releases are stressed in diverse
environments. Upstream performs exhaustive regression tests but can’t always
model every permutation of use case and cluster history. So there’s a lot of
value in smoke testing in dev and staging clusters.

Hi,
Thanks for the perfect overview of the Reef release! I'll steal this as is for
the slide, for another overview of why it's important to have an update
strategy. Sometimes folks don't understand why our 75 clusters are using the
Nautilus or Pacific release
Thanks,
k
