This is a mechanically generated change to replace openstack.org git:// URLs with https:// equivalents. This is in aid of a planned future move of the git hosting infrastructure to a self-hosted instance of gitea (https://gitea.io), which does not support the git wire protocol at this stage. This update should result in no functional change. For more information see the thread at http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-discuss/2019-March/003825.html Change-Id: Ic26c3b70e5c08d7b2ba0cfb6a6a9fb99edc92a11

CephFS
CephFS has recently gone GA and we can now move forward with offering this to people as a charm. Up until this point it was considered too experimental to store production data on.
Problem Description
A new CephFS charm will be created. This charm will leverage the Ceph base layer.
Proposed Change
A new CephFS charm will be created. This charm will leverage the Ceph base layer. The effort required should be small once the Ceph base layer is ready to go.
Alternatives
GlusterFS is an alternative to CephFS and will probably fit many users needs. However there are users who don't want to deploy additional hardware to create another cluster so this can be convenient in those cases.

Work Items
ceph-fs charm
- Create the ceph-fs charm utilizing the base Ceph layer
- Expose interesting config items such as: mds cache size, mds bal mode
- Create actions to allow blacklisting of misbehaving clients, breaking of locks, creating new filesystems, add_data_pool, remove_data_pool, set quotas, etc.
cephfs-interface
- Create an interface to allow other charms to mount the filesytem.
Repositories
A new git repository will be required to host the ceph-fs charm:
https://git.openstack.org/openstack/charm-ceph-fs
Documentation
A README.md will be created for the charm as part of the normal development workflow.
Security
No additional security concerns.
Testing
A mojo spec will be developed to exercise this charm along with amulet tests if needed:
- Deploy ceph-mon
- Deploy ceph-osd
- Deploy cephfs
- Relate the three
- Verify that CephFS can be mounted and responds to reads/writes
Dependencies
- This project depends on the Ceph Layering project being successful.
