Rolling your own servers with Kubernetes

I worked on Colossus at Google and Ceph is the closest thing out there. Gregory Farnum gave a great talk about it at the Open Source Summit 2017.

I heard from someone at a large company, though, that it's not getting a lot of love from Red Hat nowadays, even if you're a large paying customer. Now I'm curious.

I'm working on Rook+Ceph at Red Hat. Rook 1.0 was just released last week which added support for the very latest Nautilus release of Ceph.

Great to hear. I couldn't get more details from them, but it was something about both rebalancing and data recovery. They picked SwiftStack, which is at least in part open source. Maybe by now you have figured who that company is.

My team is still very interested in Ceph and Rook, for the record.

I'm curious also. I don't have any special insight into RedHat, but rook went 1.0 just last week: https://blog.rook.io/rook-v1-0-a-major-milestone-689ca4c7550...

That announcement gave me the impression the project is making active progress.
