Hi, Let me start. Ceph is amazing, no it really is!
But a hypervisor reading and writing all its data off the network off the network will add some latency to read and writes. So the hypervisor could do with a local cache, possible SSD or even NVMe. Spent a while looking into this but it seems really strange that few people see the value of this. Basically the cache would be used in two ways a) cache hot data b) writeback cache for ceph writes There is the RBD cache but that isn't disk based and on a hypervisor memory is at a premium. A simple solution would be to put a journal on each compute node and get each hypervisor to use its own journal. Would this work? Something like this http://sebastien-han.fr/images/ceph-cache-pool-compute-design.png Can this be achieved? A better explanation of what I am trying to achieve is here http://opennebula.org/cached-ssd-storage-infrastructure-for-vms/ This talk if it was voted in looks interesting - https://www.openstack.org/summit/austin-2016/vote-for-speakers/Presentation/6827 Can anyone help?
