Notes

Abstract

Umbrella ("U") is planned as the next major release for the Ceph Distributed Storage System open-source project. Ceph File System development in Umbrella is aimed at addressing various pain points around the file system disaster recovery process, performance metrics, MDS tuning, user data protection and backups. Many of these themes were also discussed in the Cephalocon 2024 and various user/dev meetings.

This talk details improvements in each of those areas with a specific focus on ease of use and automation. Many noteworthy features have been introduced thereby improving the user experience across the board. Umbrella release aims to provide Ceph File System users and administrators a better and smoother experience.
