Hello, I would just like to let you know that ElastiCluster [1], a command-line tool to create and configure compute clusters on various IaaS clouds (OpenStack, AWS, GCE, and anything supported by Apache LibCloud), is now supporting CephFS as a shared cluster filesystem [2].
Although ElastiCluster's main purpose is to deploy temporary compute clusters on IaaS clouds (with cluster filesystems being mainly a way to share / store data to be processed), it is totally possible to install just the filesystem part, e.g., for testing. I would love any feedback on how to better configure CephFS by default for compute cluster users, or in general on DO's and DON'Ts for Ceph on cloud-based VMs. Cheers, Riccardo P.S. Having been able to pass from "0 Ceph experience" to writing a working playbook for CephFS is a testimony of the great documentation and the helpfullness of this mailing list. Thank you so much! Ceph is awesome and so is its community!
