Hi Angelo,
You can always use Samba to serve shares, it works well with AD, if that is
needed. You may want to benchmark your prototypes in an as close to
production setting as possible.

Thanks Alex, interesting perspectives.
I already thought about proxmox as well, and that would also work quite
nicely. I think that would be the most performant option to put VM's on
RBD.
But my entire goal was to run SMB servers on top of that hypervisor
layer, to serve SMB shares to
Bailey,
Thanks for your extensive reply, you got me down the wormhole of CephFS
and SMB (and looking at a lot of 45drives videos and knowledge base,
Houston dashboard, reading up on CTDB, etc), and this is a really
interesting option as well! Thanks for the write-up.
By the way, are you

Hi Angelo,
Just some thoughts to consider from our experience with similar setups:
1. Use Proxmox instead of VMWare, or anything KVM based. These VMs can
consume Ceph directly, and provide the same level of service (some may say
better) for live ,migration, hyperconvergence etc. Then you run
There is also a direct RBD client for MS Windows, though it's relatively young.

Hey Angelo,
Just to make sure I'm understanding correctly, the main idea for the use
case is to be able to present Ceph storage to windows clients as SMB?
If so, you can absolutely use CephFS to get that done. This is something we
do all the time with our cluster configurations, if we're
