Re-Architecting Ceph, One Crimson-OSD at a Time - Matan Breizman, IBM
The Crimson project is an effort to build a drop-in replacement Ceph OSD well suited to the new reality of low latency, high throughput, persistent memory and NVMe technologies.
Built on the Seastar C++ framework, Crimson-OSD aims to fully exploit modern devices by minimizing latency, CPU overhead, and cross-core communication.
We’ll take a look at where the project stands today and what’s still ahead.
