I'd say using Ceph for ephemeral disks is the most common deployment pattern, at DataCentred we've been using it for years. It's rock solid and has been for several releases. There were some edge case issues around resizing and snapshotting, but I think that's all been fixed in the last couple of

Hello All, I would like to use ephemeral disks with ceph instead of on nova compute node. I saw that there is an option to configure it but find many different bugs and reports for its not working , not stable , no success at the instance creation time. Anybody In this list use ceph as an
