It runs on your workstation, and does +not require servers, databases, or any other tools. If you set up and +tear down Ceph clusters a lot, and want minimal extra bureaucracy, +``ceph-deploy`` is an ideal tool. The ``ceph-deploy`` tool is not a generic +deployment system. It was designed exclusively for Ceph users who want to get +Ceph up and running quickly with sensible initial configuration settings without +the overhead of installing Chef, Puppet or Juju. Users who want fine-control +over security settings, partitions or directory locations should use a tool +such as Juju, Puppet, `Chef`_ or Crowbar. + + +With ``ceph-deploy``, you can develop scripts to install Ceph packages on remote +hosts, create a cluster, add monitors, gather (or forget) keys, add OSDs and +metadata servers, configure admin hosts, and tear down the clusters. + +.. raw:: html + + <table cellpadding="10"><tbody valign="top"><tr><td> + +.. toctree:: + + Preflight Checklist <preflight-checklist> + Install Ceph <ceph-deploy-install> + +.. raw:: html + + </td><td> + +.. toctree:: + + Create a Cluster <ceph-deploy-new> + Add/Remove Monitor(s) <ceph-deploy-mon> + Key Management <ceph-deploy-keys> + Add/Remove OSD(s) <ceph-deploy-osd> + Add/Remove MDS(s) <ceph-deploy-mds> + + +.. raw:: html + + </td><td> + +.. toctree:: + + Purge Hosts <ceph-deploy-purge> + Admin Tasks <ceph-deploy-admin> + + +.. raw:: html + + </td></tr></tbody></table> + + +.. _Chef: http://tracker.ceph.com/projects/ceph/wiki/Deploying_Ceph_with_Chef |
