This talk focusses on the current (and near future) state of the three pieces that make up a Ceph File System - Ceph Metadata Sever (MDS), Clients and a set of Ceph Manager Plugins. Much advancements have been made to the Ceph File System recently, opening up gateways for wider adoption. Some features are already available in recent releases and some are under development. We detail these enhancements by breaking up nicely into each of the three pieces. Ceph File System specific manager plugins have come a long way to now becoming the de-facto for subvolume/crash-consistent snapshot management and mirroring. We discuss about those. And finally, we peek into what is upcoming in CephFS for Tentacle ("T") release. Existing and new CephFS users would find it helpful to assess and plan ahead for its adoption.
