Hello guys, 

I was hoping to get some answers on how would ceph behaive when I install SSDs 
on the hypervisor level and use them as cache pool. Let's say I've got 10 kvm 
hypervisors and I install one 512GB ssd on each server. I then create a cache 
pool for my storage cluster using these ssds. My questions are: 

1. How would the network IO flow when I am performing read and writes on the 
virtual machines? Would writes get stored on the hypervisor's ssd disk right 
away or would the rights be directed to the osd servers first and then 
redirected back to the cache pool on the hypervisor's ssd? Similarly, would 
reads go to the osd servers and then redirected to the cache pool on the 
hypervisors? 

2. Would majority of network traffic shift to the cache pool level and stay at 
the hypervisors level rather than hypervisor / osd server level? 

Many thanks 

Andrei
