Description

reef/edge: 47 2024-05-15 (47) 17MB amd64 ubuntu@22.04

https://bugs.launchpad.net/charm-microceph/+bug/2067282

Let's say a design is with 3 minimum hosts to have 3 replicas of Ceph MON+OSD, and other nodes will have OSD only to add more capacity to the cluster. As of today, there is no way to achieve that kind of designs since there is no way to differentiate MON, MON+OSD, OSD in Sunbeam deployments.

Why does having 3 MON statically matter? OpenStack itself doesn't react well to an event of adding/removing MONs e.g. https://bugs.launchpad.net/nova/+bug/1452641
And clients outside of Sunbeam managed needs static entry points to access Ceph data (It's pretty common to share a Ceph cluster between OpenStack workload such as VMs and other such as S3).

Research direction

No source file, test, or entry point is named. Start by reviewing how Sunbeam deployments currently assign Ceph MON and OSD roles, then compare that behavior with the three-host MON+OSD and additional OSD-only layout described here. Done means deployments can express that layout while preserving stable MON endpoints; the linked Launchpad bug provides additional context.
