We run many clusters in a similar config with shared Hypervisor/OSD/RGW/RBD in production and in staging but we have been looking into moving our storage to it's own cluster so that we can scale independently. We used AWS and scaled up a ton of virtual users using JMeter clustering to test performa

That one big server sounds great, but it also sounds like a single point of failure. It's also not cheap. I've been able to build this cluster for about $1400 per node, including the 10Gb networking gear, which is less than what I see the _empty case_ you describe going for new. Even used, the lowe

I run a converged openstack / ceph cluster with 14 1U nodes. Each has 1 SSD (os / journals), 3 1TB spinners (1 OSD each), 16 HT cores, 10Gb NICs for ceph network, and 72GB of RAM. I configure openstack to leave 3GB of RAM unused on each node for OSD / OS overhead. All the VMs are backed by ceph vol

It's kind of a philosophical question. Technically there's nothing that prevents you from putting ceph and the hypervisor on the same boxes. It's a question of whether or not potential cost savings are worth increased risk of failure and contention. You can minimize those things through vario

A word of caution: While normally my OSDs use very little CPU, I have occasionally had an issue where the OSDs saturate the CPU (not necessarily during a rebuild). This might be a kernel thing, or a driver thing specific to our hosts, but were this to happen to you, it now impacts your VMs as well
