Despite being a few versions behind a fast-moving system, this book has been a life-saver for getting up and going with Ceph quickly. The checklist/recipe format is extremely reference friendly, but the overall book is a readable introduction as well. But it is definitely hands-on and that has definitely helped me.

I've worked with Ceph for over six years. Production Ceph deployments often start at the petabyte level, and grow from there. Additionally, Ceph supports file, block and object interfaces on the same storage platform. Ceph is open-source, free and powerful. It is also a de facto back end for OpenStack Nova, Glance and Cinder. These factors make Ceph both very exciting and a little bit intimidating for first time users.By contrast, learning how to use Ceph usually starts on a much smaller scale--often with a personal computer and some virtual machines. The Ceph Cookbook identifies all of the required software (open source, and free), and step-by-step guidance for deploying a Ceph cluster on a small scale. The skills you learn from the Ceph Cookbook can transfer directly to production environments. Ceph Cookbook also provides detailed step-by-step guidance on how to use the file, block and object interfaces, including their advanced features such as taking snapshots, disaster recovery, and even how to integrate Ceph with OpenStack! With the Ceph Cookbook, you can learn Ceph concepts and features on a small scale and transfer those skills directly to large scale production environments.By following the step-by-step examples provided by Ceph veterans, Vikhyat, Michael and Karan, the Ceph Cookbook will take you from a novice level to a competent Ceph user in short order. The Ceph Cookbook is well worth it!

I have been working with Ceph for almost 2 years now, and many times I find myself searching many different documents to find the required commands or configurations that I require. Since aquiring this book I have been able to perform all of my daily tasks while referencing the book for any steps or procedures I need to manage my clusters, I no longer need to bounce between multiple guides. All of the steps are very detailed and easy to follow, and even include nice screenshots. I would recommend this cookbook for anyone just starting out with Ceph or anyone that deploys or manages Ceph on a daily basis. This is an excellent resource to have handy!

Can I download the code files for Early Access titles? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We try to ensure that all books in Early Access have code available to use, download, and fork on GitHub. This helps us be more agile in the development of the book, and helps keep the often changing code base of new versions and new technologies as up to date as possible. Unfortunately, however, there will be rare cases when it is not possible for us to have downloadable code samples available until publication.

When we publish the book, the code files will also be available to download from the Packt website.

How accurate is the publication date? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The publication date is as accurate as we can be at any point in the project. Unfortunately, delays can happen. Often those delays are out of our control, such as changes to the technology code base or delays in the tech release. We do our best to give you an accurate estimate of the publication date at any given time, and as more chapters are delivered, the more accurate the delivery date will become.

How will I know when new chapters are ready? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We'll let you know every time there has been an update to a course that you've bought in Early Access. You'll get an email to let you know there has been a new chapter, or a change to a previous chapter. The new chapters are automatically added to your account, so you can also check back there any time you're ready and download or read them online.

What is Early Access? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Keeping up to date with the latest technology is difficult; new versions, new frameworks, new techniques. This feature gives you a head-start to our content, as it's being created. With Early Access you'll receive each chapter as it's written, and get regular updates throughout the product's development, as well as the final course as soon as it's ready.We created Early Access as a means of giving you the information you need, as soon as it's available. As we go through the process of developing a course, 99% of it can be ready but we can't publish until that last 1% falls in to place. Early Access helps to unlock the potential of our content early, to help you start your learning when you need it most. You not only get access to every chapter as it's delivered, edited, and updated, but you'll also get the finalized, DRM-free product to download in any format you want when it's published. As a member of Packt, you'll also be eligible for our exclusive offers, including a free course every day, and discounts on new and popular titles.
