Hands On with Rook: Ceph & Kubernetes
summary
Hands-on workshop deploys Rook on Kubernetes over bare metal NVMe SSDs with 80 lab environments and two physical nodes, starting with a single-node Ceph cluster (3 monitors, 1 OSD) then expanding to 3 monitors 1→3 OSDs and converting filestore→bluestore; attendees create PVCs (20 GB example), run a WordPress+MySQL app, a 3‑node CockroachDB with 1 GB volumes, and enable object access via S3 API via RGW (3 gateways). Monitoring uses Prometheus + Grafana dashboards. Upgrades (v13→v14) and simulated device failures succeed and auto-recover.
