Deploying Ceph Object Storage
- Creating a Storage Pool
Object storage requires multiple storage pools. You can create storage pools with small data volumes, such as the metadata storage pool, on SSDs to improve performance. This section describes how to create a metadata object storage pool on an SSD and a data object storage pool on an HDD. - Creating an RGW Account
To access Ceph object storage from a client, you need to create an RGW account following the instructions described below. - Enabling RGW Data Compression
After creating an RGW account, you can use it to access the RGW. To enable RGW data compression, create storage pools for storing compressed data, add a data placement policy, and specify the compression algorithm.
