Ceph technical meetup

On September 5 we will hold the first Ceph Storage technical meetup in Israel. Leading Ceph developers from Israel and abroad will discuss Ceph latest version and road map, and present advanced integration features.

Schedule:

17:30 Gathering and socializing

18:00 Main thrust and new features accomplished in Nautilus; overview of the themes and new features planned for Octopus. Brett Niver (a Senior Manager @ Red Hat, leading a major part of Ceph development within Red Hat).

--:-- Developing the tools to run data services in production. Shon Paz (Data Services Team Leader at the MOD).

--:-- A hybrid Cloud Storage Story (Pub Sub in Ceph). Yuval Lifshitz.

Shon Paz will present his experience with developing the tools and methodologies to run an agile very-large-scale Ceph-based data service in production - and how to make use of industry-standard open-source tools and resources.

A hybrid Cloud Storage Story

There are many good reasons for storing your valuable data on premise, but also many good reasons for using the power of serverless cloud computing. What if we didn’t have to chose one against the other?
And even better, what if we could change our mind whenever we wanted?
In KubeCon2018 Huamin Chen & Yehuda Sadeh-Weinraub hooked Ceph into knative/kubernetes to do event driven image classification.
Let’s say we wanted the images in the “cat” bucket to be processed in the local kubernetes cluster, while images in the “dogs” bucket to be processed by a shiny cloud function – with minimal changes, and in a future proof way.
In this talk Yuval Lifshitz would like to show how the recently introduced “publish-subscribe” mechanism in Ceph, when hooked into a message bus (e.g. rabbitmq), or directly to a serverless function in the cloud, could achieve the above.

Yuval is a Principal Software Engineer at Red Hat Since 2018.
