Crucible is our storage service: https://github.com/oxidecomputer/crucible

RFD 60, linked in the README, contains a bit of info about Ceph, which we did evaluate: https://rfd.shared.oxide.computer/rfd/0060

Fascinating! I thought you were using RAIDZ3 with some kind of clever wrapper (or just DRBD), but it’s much more complex than that.

It's not an area I personally work on, but yeah, there's a lot going on. And there will be more in the future, for example, I believe right now we ensure data integrity ourselves, but if you're running something (like Ceph) that does that on its own, you're paying for it twice. And so giving people options like that is important. It's a pretty interesting part of the space!
