I will set up, optimize, or troubleshoot your ceph storage cluster
About this Gig
Ceph problems can bring your entire infrastructure down. Whether youre building a new cluster, scaling an existing one, or fighting a HEALTH_WARN that wont go away I can help.
I manage multi-petabyte Ceph clusters integrated with OpenStack in a Tier-1 telecom production environment. I know Ceph inside out: from CRUSH maps to BlueStore tuning to recovery optimization.
What I deliver:
New cluster deployment (cephadm, ceph-deploy, or manual)
CRUSH map design and optimization
Replication vs Erasure Coding strategy
OpenStack integration (Glance, Cinder, Nova ephemeral)
Performance tuning and bottleneck analysis
Cluster recovery and data migration
Monitoring setup (Prometheus + Grafana dashboards)
Deployment methods: cephadm (recommended), ceph-deploy, manual installation. I support Reef, Quincy, and Pacific releases on RHEL, CentOS, Rocky Linux, and Ubuntu.
How it works:
1. Message me with your cluster details or requirements
2. I assess your situation and propose the best approach
3. I deploy/fix, test, and document everything
4. You receive a healthy cluster with full documentation
