Ceph Object Storage
3 min readNov 23, 2022
This article describes how to use Ceph object storage. Ceph provides three interfaces: block storage, file system and object storage.
So far, we have covered Ceph deployment and the first two interfaces.
With this article we will cover all three interfaces.
Ceph Object Gateway Daemon Creation
First, we need to create Ceph Object Gateway daemon (radosgw).
sudo ceph orch apply rgw rgw The command need to be run on a node where ceph admin credential is available. In our setting, we use the monitor node. A detailed description of this node can be found in the Ceph Cluster Deploy article.
As shown above, wait till rgw daemons are created.
RGW User Creation
The next step is creating users. The first command will create a system-level user and the second will create a normal user.
sudo radosgw-admin user create --uid=[id] --display-name=[name] --system
sudo radosgw-admin user create --uid=[id] --display-name=[name]
