Ansible playbooks for Ceph, the distributed filesystem. This project assumes you have a basic knowledge of how Ansible works and have already prepared your hosts for configuration by Ansible. After you’ve cloned the ceph-ansible repository, selected your branch and installed Ansible then you’ll need to create your inventory file, playbook and configuration for your Ceph cluster. The Ansible inventory file defines the hosts in your cluster and what roles each host plays in your Ceph cluster. The default location for an inventory file is /etc/ansible/hosts but this file can be placed anywhere and used with the -i flag of ansible-playbook. You must have a playbook to pass to the ansible-playbook command when deploying your cluster. There is a sample playbook at the root of the ceph-ansible project called site.yml.sample. This playbook should work fine for most usages, but it does include by default every daemon group which might not be appropriate for your cluster setup.
Features
