I read DigitalOcean is using Ceph for its object and block storage. Do they use BlueStore in production too?

Fairly sure at a Ceph Days recently they did a talk mentioning they’re on Jewel which would still be FileStore.

BlueStore is really only reaching production deployments and maturity quite recently last year or so.

Thanks! This probably means we can expect some IOPS and latency improvements when they'll upgrade :)

DO has upgraded their Ceph cluster to luminous back in 2018 according to this blog post: https://blog.digitalocean.com/block-storage-volume-performan...

Thanks for the link. I missed that. It looks like they use BlueStore :)

My mistake I think I’m confusing them with another provider. Maybe OVH?
