Thanks Matthias,

Ceph iSCSI is indeed supported but it introduces an overhead for running
LIO gateways for iSCSI.
CephFS works as a posix domain, if we could get a posix domain to work as a
master domain then we could run a self-hosted engine on it.
Ceph RBD ( rbd-nbd hopefully in future ) could be used with cinderlib and
we have got a self-hosted infrastructure with Ceph.

I am hopeful that when cinderlib integration is mature enough to be out of
Tech preview, there will be a way to migrate old cinder disks to new
cinderlib.

PS: About your large deployment, go OpenStack or OpenNebula if you like.
Proxmox clustering isn't very great, it doesn't have a single controller
and uses coro-sync based clustering which isn't very great.

Cheers,
Shantur
