What problem does it solve?
Deploying Ceph storage across multiple Kubernetes nodes is complex and error-prone. This skill provides a reproducible, production-grade Rook Ceph deployment workflow, including operator installation and a multi-node cluster ready for production workloads.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Helm-based deployment of the Rook Ceph operator and a multi-node cluster with production settings (mon.count: 3, mgr.count: 2, replication size: 3, failure domain: host)
- High availability and scalable storage managed by Rook Ceph in Kubernetes
- Quick-start guidance for installing the operator, waiting for readiness, and deploying a cluster using a values file
Quick Start
Install the Rook Ceph operator and cluster using Helm and a values file:
- Add the Rook Helm repository
helm repo add rook-release https://charts.rook.io/release
- Update repository
helm repo update
- Install operator
helm install --create-namespace --namespace rook-ceph rook-ceph rook-release/rook-ceph
- Wait for operator readiness
kubectl -n rook-ceph wait --for=condition=ready pod -l app=rook-ceph-operator --timeout=300s
- Install cluster with values file
helm install --namespace rook-ceph rook-ceph-cluster --set operatorNamespace=rook-ceph rook-release/rook-ceph-cluster -f cluster-values.yaml
