Dashboard

   Yeah, you could see this as "re-inventing the wheel". However, if users use 
both CloudStack and Ceph, you're giving them a more centralized management 
system versus several third-party integrations. I,  myself, see the value in 
this. I think this could also attract more users to CloudStack if CloudStack 
had this packaged in. 
   
   If the API is broken, is there another way that CloudStack could talk to a 
Ceph node? Could you send the commands over SSH? When adding compute servers in 
CloudStack, the user is prompted for ``sudo`` credentials on the system. Could 
we do something like that for Ceph? We could exchange SSH keys for remote 
control. I'm not familiar with Java, however, I've worked with Python's 
``paramiko`` module. You can do some pretty cool automation with it. Just a 
suggestion :)
