Cephalocon 2024

The presentation is about a solution that we have created in the Ceph Dashboard for managing and monitoring multiple ceph clusters from a single cluster that we call a hub cluster. This approach simplifies the complexities of managing multiple clusters by providing a more streamlined and efficient user experience. I will describe the architecture of our implementation and how this would help admins to manage many clusters, ensuring optimal performance, reliability and ease of use. I will also demo various features which can leverage the multi-cluster setup like setting up replication between multiple clusters. Also with multiple clusters connected on a single cluster, this will also provide an overview dashboard where important information on the other clusters can be monitored including the real-time alerts that goes on in the other clusters. I’ll also share how we are planning to improve the feature and our testing strategies around it.
