Welcome to Part 2 of our OpenStack and Ceph series! In the last episode, we built a resilient 3-node Ceph cluster. Now, it's time to unleash its power by integrating it with OpenStack. In this video, we'll connect our Ceph cluster to OpenStack, supercharging your cloud with a distributed, high-performance, and resilient storage backend. We'll replace the default LVM storage with Ceph for Glance, Cinder, and Nova, demonstrating how this integration can dramatically speed up instance provisioning and provide a robust foundation for your cloud. What you’ll learn in this video: ✅How to configure Ceph for OpenStack integration. ✅Step-by-step integration of Ceph with Glance for optimized image management. ✅Integrating Ceph with Cinder to provide persistent, feature-rich block storage for your instances. ✅Configuring Nova to use Ceph for ephemeral storage, enabling live migrations and other advanced features. ✅A real-world demonstration of creating volumes and launching instances using Ceph-backed storage. 👨‍💻 I’ll guide you through all the necessary configurations and best practices, showing you how to build a truly production-ready OpenStack cloud. If you're serious about building a scalable and resilient cloud infrastructure, this is the video for you. 🔔 Don’t forget to like, comment, and subscribe for more deep dives into cloud-native technologies! 📌 Resources & Links * Ceph official docs: * OpenStack docs: * My GitHub repo with configs & scripts 👉 Chapters: 00:00 Introduction 01:48 Nova and Glance 07:34 Cinder 10:16 Cinder under the hood 11:08 Volumes from images 12:15 Snapshots and clones 13:07 Volumes summary 14:29 Ceph Intro 16:21 Ceph configuration 18:46 Openstack configuration for Ceph 22:20 Testing Ceph backend 25:33 Cinder backup with Ceph #OpenStack #Ceph #CloudComputing #Storage #DevOps #CloudNative #Linux #Kubernetes #SysAdmin #CloudInfrastructure #DataStorage #HighAvailability #SelfHealing #Virtualization #CloudEngineering
