Training
Ceph is not learned by reading the documentation. It is learned by seeing what happens when a node dies, when space runs out, when recovery never finishes. That is where the course starts.
Administrators with a Ceph cluster to run, people evaluating whether it makes sense for them, and anyone handed a cluster somebody else built. Linux and networking are assumed; Ceph is not.
How it is built and how to stand it up.
Keeping it up when something goes wrong.
The programme adapts. The outline above is a starting point. If you already run a cluster we start from that one: we look at how it is built, what worries you, and the course follows your questions rather than an index.
We hold the Red Hat certification on Ceph Cloud Storage and work on clusters in emergency, most of them built by somebody else. The situations we bring into the room are those: not constructed examples, but real clusters that had stopped and were brought back.
A real cluster to break and put back together.
On your cluster, with your data and your real limits.
When people are in different places, or time is short.
From the first installation to a highly available cluster, taught by people who run them in production.
Tell us how many people, whether you already run a cluster, and what you need to understand. We will propose a programme and a length.
