Thanks Piotr for the explanation, images gets stripped on this mailing list - so I couldn't see it but your explanation made sense to me.
You'll be delighted to know that in fact there's an upcoming feature in 4.19 to support object storage framework and buckets as first-class feature in CloudStack for end-users, with APIs, UI, bucket/browser and usage support for buckets. This is proposed with a PR raised now and aims to implement the feature in a framework-plugin model with support for minio as a supported provider in the first iterations. Perhaps you can put in a request via a Github issue to have Ceph supported as an object storage pool/provider. As a workaround, while not ideal you could be able to mount cephfs and have the storage served via minio with the proposed PR - https://github.com/apache/cloudstack/pull/7752 Any feedback, testing and suggestions are welcome on this feature.

In this way, the user gets his own share, which he can mount eg in vm. He can also browse the contents of the bucket and upload/download files via the web interface (similar to azure blob and others). It would be great if a similar possibility existed in the CS interface intended for ordinary users. Of course, the role of the administrator (CS or project) would be to connect the correct ceph infrastructure. Such functionality in CS is very much needed.

Do you mean, perhaps CloudStack create/orchestrates Ceph using containers without the user having to setup the infra manually and then add to cloudstack? Regards. ________________________________ From: Piotr Pisz <pi...@piszki.pl<mailto:pi...@piszki.pl>> Sent: Thursday, August 10, 2023 16:24 To: users@cloudstack.apache.org<mailto:users@cloudstack.apache.org> <users@cloudstack.apache.org<mailto:users@cloudstack.apache.org>> Subject: RE: Apache CloudStack and Ceph Generally, it would be great if there was an option to create ceph object shares in CloudStack. Similar to Openstack "create container" in horizon. We also run clusters as CS+Ceph pairs.

Let me know if you need any information on that. regards Abhishek Ranjan On Wed, 9 Aug 2023 at 18:26, Ivet Petrova <ivet.petr...@shapeblue.com<mailto:ivet.petr...@shapeblue.com>> wrote: > Hello all, > > Do we have any community members who are using both Apache CloudStack > and Ceph as a storage? > We are discussing organising a joint 1-day event with the Ceph > community and I was wondering if I can get support from companies - > join the event and have a talk over their ACS and Ceph usage? > > Kind regards, > > > > >
