Ceph is an open source scale-out software defined storage management platform. It provides unified support for block, file and object storage on industry standard hardware. Today, Ceph is the most deployed storage engine in OpenStack environments. Ceph has been part of the Linux Kernel since the 2.6.34 release.The latest release of Ceph includes a new storage engine known as BlueStore which provides dramatically improved performance for modern media such as flash and the nascent storage class memory technologies. BlueStore also provides critical new features like enterprise-class data integrity (silent error detection and correction), compression as well as being a key building block for new functionality associated with erasure coding, etc. This talk will examine the architecture of BlueStore and how it extended the existing open source ecosystem.
