Rook is based on kubernetes, and cephadm on podman or docker. These are well-defined runtimes. Yes, some have bugs, but our experience so far has been a big improvement over the complexity of managing package dependencies across even just a handful of distros. (Podman has been the only real culprit here, tbh, but I give them a partial pass as the tool is relatively new.) _______________________________________________ ceph-users mailing list -- ceph-users@ceph.io To unsubscribe send an email to ceph-users-le...@ceph.io
