CephFS — The stable distributed filesystem

Ceph is an open source distributed object store, network block device, and file system designed for reliability, performance, and scalability. The POSIX-compatible CephFS was declared stable in its early 2016 Jewel release (with a limited feature set), and the upcoming Luminous release will significantly expand stable functionality and feature sets.

Beginning with an overview of the infinitely-scalable CephFS architecture, this talk will discuss what currently works, what will work in the next release, and what’s still to come.
