The Ceph upstream community is declaring CephFS stable for the first time in the recent Jewel release, but that declaration comes with caveats: while we have filesystem repair tools and a distributed POSIX filesystem, we have disabled exciting features like horizontally-scalable metadata servers and snapshots. This talk will present — from a developer’s perspective — exactly what features you can expect to see, what blocked the inclusion of other features, and an outline of what work we’ve done to reach this point and what work is required moving forward.
