I too would be amenable to a cephadm orchestrator on bare metal if that were an option. I thought that I would drop this video for anyone that hasn't seen it yet. It hits on a lot of people's sentiments about containers being not great for debugging, while also going into some of the pros to

I vote for an SSH orchestrator for a bare metal installation too! (And no, I'm not able to write it.) Our second Ceph cluster is underway, and I don't know if we ever update our first cluster (nautilus) to a containerized version. It is constructed a special way. Thanks! Lars smime.p7s

There should not be any performance difference between an un-containerized version and a containerized one. The shift to containers makes sense, as this is the general direction that the industry as a whole is taking. I would suggest giving cephadm a try, it's relatively straight forward and

Hi! AFAIK the focus is on ceph-adm to replace ceph-ansible. Today it is still missing some important features but it is just a matter of time. I don't think that the devs will do twice the work, once for cephadm and once for ceph-ansible but if someone feels the need to keep it working and
