Quick Ceph Object Storage

To use the Ceph Object Storage Quick Start guide, you must have executed the procedures in the Storage Cluster Quick Start guide first. Make sure that you have at least one RGW instance running.

Configure new RGW instance

The RGW instance created by the Storage Cluster Quick Start will run using the embedded CivetWeb webserver. ceph-deploy will create the instance and start it automatically with default parameters.

To administer the RGW instance, see details in the the RGW Admin Guide.

Additional details may be found in the Configuring Ceph Object Gateway guide, but the steps specific to Apache are no longer needed.

Note

Deploying RGW using ceph-deploy and using the CivetWeb webserver instead of Apache is new functionality as of Hammer release.
