Storage and Networking: Rook on Multus - Enhancing Performance with Dedicated Networks

Explore the intersection of storage and networking in this conference talk focusing on Rook on Multus. Delve into the importance of networking in baremetal cloud storage and learn how Rook-Ceph leverages multus to optimize host network interfaces for Ceph Public and Cluster Networks. Discover the benefits of dedicated storage networks for performance enhancement. Gain insights into Ceph public and cluster networks, their use cases, and the necessity of dedicated networks in baremetal environments. Compare HostNetworking and Multus approaches, understand network-attachment-definitions, and see how Rook-Ceph implements these concepts. Witness a live demo showcasing a running cluster utilizing multus networks and compare performance metrics with and without multus. By the end, acquire knowledge about the advantages of private and cluster networks, determine when to implement them, and learn to create a basic networking setup for Rook-Ceph. The presentation covers various topics including storage challenges, Rook-Ceph and Ceph fundamentals, architectural layers, dynamic provisioning, network capabilities, topology, and models, as well as performance metrics for random read and write operations.
