+1 to this, great article and great research. Something we've been keeping a very close eye on ourselves.
Overall we've mostly settled on the old keep it simple stupid methodology with good results. Especially as the benefits have gotten less beneficial the more recent your ceph version, and have been rocking with single OSD/NVMe, but as always everything is workload dependant and there is sometimes a need for doubling up 😊 Regards, Bailey > -----Original Message----- > From: Maged Mokhtar <mmokh...@petasan.org> > Sent: January 17, 2024 4:59 PM > To: Mark Nelson <mark.nel...@clyso.com>; ceph-users@ceph.io > Subject: [ceph-users] Re: Performance impact of Heterogeneous > environment > > Very informative article you did Mark. > > IMHO if you find yourself with very high per-OSD core count, it may be logical > to just pack/add more nvmes per host, you'd be getting the best price per > performance and capacity. > > /Maged > > > On 17/01/2024 22:00, Mark Nelson wrote: > > It's a little tricky.
