Welcome to the Ceph New Users Workshop 2025
Welcome to the Ceph New Users Workshop 2025 ¶
Join us for the Ceph New Users Workshop, a hands-on event designed to help you get started with Ceph in a friendly, supportive environment. After a successful turnout in Geneva, the Ceph Team is hosting another New Users Workshop to help the community jumpstart their Ceph journeys. This workshop is sponsored by the Ceph Ambassador Program and is held in partnership with Cephalocon 2025. It is exclusively open and free of charge to registered attendees of the main conference. If you're attending Cephalocon in Vancouver this year, this is the perfect way to kick off the event!
What to Expect ¶
Just like last year's popular session, this year's workshop will focus on the new user experience. We'll cover:
- The basics of Ceph: What it is and why it matters
- Key concepts and architecture
- Common use cases and deployment options
- A guided, hands-on introduction to installing a Ceph cluster
We aim to provide guidance for anyone using Ceph, whether as an IT professional, systems administrator, developer, or simply curious about Ceph. This workshop is a great way to start your journey.
