Wolfgang is correct. You do not need VMs at all if you are setting up Ceph Object Storage. It's just Apache, FastCGI, and the radosgw daemon interacting with the Ceph Storage Cluster. You can do that on one box no problem. It's still better to have more drives for performance though. On Mon, Aug 1

Hello, I just have some small questions about Ceph Deployment models and if this would work for us. Currently the first question would be, is it possible to have a ceph single node setup, where everything is on one node? Our Application, Ceph's object storage and a database? We focus on this deploy
