LISA: Where systems engineering and operations professionals share real-world knowledge about designing, building, and maintaining the critical systems of our interconnected world.
The LISA conference has long served as the annual vendor-neutral meeting place for the wider system administration community. The LISA14 program recognized the overlap and differences between traditional and modern IT operations and engineering, and developed a highly-curated program around 5 key topics: Systems Engineering, Security, Culture, DevOps, and Monitoring/Metrics. The program included 22 half- and full-day training sessions; 10 workshops; and a conference program consisting of 50 invited talks, panels, refereed paper presentations, and mini-tutorials.
Learn about the history of Ceph and get to know how Ceph, as Software Defined Storage, uses its different components to offer Object access (S3 and Swift compatible), Block Level access and File Level access. I combine lecture with instructor-led demonstrations using Ceph.
Who should attend:
Any system or storage administrator who wants to get a better and more in depth understanding of Ceph.
Any CIO or CTO who would like to know how Ceph could benefit his infrastructures and help contain costs.
Take back to work:
Virtual Machine images for playing with Ceph
Lab instructions on how to setup and play with a test cluster
Topics include:
Overview of the Ceph Architecture
Different access methods to the Ceph Storage Cluster
