Ceph has support for most major orchestration and deployment frameworks:
While there are a number of ways to install Ceph, we offer a simple installation guide for small scale clusters and proof-of-concept testing. If you would like to deploy at scale, please investigate our deployment frameworks or contact a Ceph vendor for help.
Sometimes the best way to get started with a new technology is by seeing how others have used it successfully. In this section, we try to highlight best practice implementations of Ceph Software and supporting hardware by commercial providers and experts in the field.
While there are more Ceph users than we can keep track of, we like to provide a list of example users to help show the breadth of the Ceph community. If you would like to be listed as a Ceph user, feel free to contact us:
