Glusterfs vs CEPH

[Michael Kesper <mk...@schokokeks.org>]

Hi all,

In many documentation materials, I see CEPH mentioned but not Gluster.
Is CEPH support superior in cloudstack to gluster support?
Or is the performance of CEPH so much better than Gluster?

Thanks for your answers
Michael

P.S.: These mailing lists are not very searchable :(

I'm not a cloudstack guy, but used CEPH and tested Glusterfs in openstack environment
As a block point of view I recommend GlusterFs because of performance
Of course because of IO types or hardware types many things can depend but if you are dealing with a lot of small io and want to get performance try gluster

Wot he said ^^^

There as a Swiss based provider named CloudSigma (where I was one of their
customers loooooong time ago) - they were using Gluster  (loooooong time
ago) and they had tremendous issues, reverting whole storage snapshots like
a week in the past - all of the sudden you/me see crazy log lines where you
actually understand that they reverted the storage back to past...
Ceph does require quite a bit of knowledge on managing but is widely used
(in general) and also with CloudStack.

For searching - check this one
https://lists.apache.org/list.html?users@cloudstack.apache.org (you can
choose dev@ and other mailing lists)
(Once you are subscribed for 4-5-6 years, it will be also searchable via
your inbox :) )

Cheers

CEPH is much, much more used with Cloudstack than Glusterfs (from what I 
see in the community).
As a product in itself it is arguably much, much more deployed than 
Glusterfs.
I like Glusterfs, it's so simple to deploy and manage, but I'm afraid 
it's the loser in this race.
