Abstract: 

Ceph's object storage system allows users to mount Ceph as a thin-provisioned block device known as RADOS block Device (RBD). This talk aims to delve deep into the RBD, its design and features. In this session, we will discuss:

  • What entails creating an RBD image—rbd data and metadata
  • Prominent features like Striping, Snapshots, and Cloning
  • How RBD is configured in a virtualized setup using libvirt/qemu
