Keynote: From Busy to Impactful: Maximizing Ceph’s Collective Resources
summary
Bloomberg describes Ceph as production storage that runs at enterprise scale — ~1 million virtual CPUs backed by few hundred PB raw storage and georeplicated object clusters using gateway accounts and notifications — and argues the community must prioritize impact over activity by measuring outcomes with KPIs. Recommends investing money into pipelines, testing, documentation and core infra, even skipping feature releases for stability, and provides a funding request form to allocate Foundation dollars to high-impact work.
