The Ceph project is the most vibrant and active Software-Defined-Storage project in the Linux world. With the recent "Jewel" release, significant functionality, stability, and performance work has been made available. By the time of LinuxCon Europe, we will already be close to the "Kraken" release, in preparation for the next long-term release "Luminous" in 2017. There is plenty of exciting work in the management tooling space, from GUIs to configuration management, and downstream activity and distribution adoption. Some of the features promise significant performance gains, or major new functionality like CephFS.
We will discuss the recent developments, current status of various features, and the roadmap of the Ceph project. We will also look at the state of the community and contributions.
