Ceph Scientific Users Working Group BoF

" summary

Community-run Ceph Scientific Users BoF convenes a mix of research sites exchanging concrete practices: running RBD with three replicas and CephFS as backends for OpenStack and Kubernetes, juggling aging hardware by phasing out out-of-warranty nodes and reusing them for scratch or backups, and integrating object lifecycles into tape archives via S3 lifecycle to tape (IBM examples). Participants report scale: 10 PB science cluster, 25 PB legacy with 45 PB coming online, and ~300 PB on tape, plus practical failure-domain and capacity-planning tips.
