To make use of the content of this book, basic prior knowledge of Ceph is expected. If you feel you don't have that knowledge, it is always possible to catch up with the basics by having a quick read of the major components from the official Ceph documentation, http://docs.ceph.com/docs/master/. This book is essentially intended for Ceph cluster administrators. If you are already running a Ceph cluster, this book can help you to gain a better understanding.

Overview of this book
Mastering Ceph covers all that you need to know to use Ceph effectively. Starting with design goals and planning steps that should be undertaken to ensure successful deployments, you will be guided through to setting up and deploying the Ceph cluster, with the help of orchestration tools. Key areas of Ceph including Bluestore, Erasure coding and cache tiering will be covered with help of examples. Development of applications which use Librados and Distributed computations with shared object classes are also covered. A section on tuning will take you through the process of optimisizing both Ceph and its supporting infrastructure. Finally, you will learn to troubleshoot issues and handle various scenarios where Ceph is likely not to recover on its own.
By the end of the book, you will be able to successfully deploy and operate a resilient high performance Ceph cluster.
