Are you using Ceph for object storage?
I'd be super interested in hearing from someone who has set it up whether it's something an experienced but generalized sys admin could build, or if you need an expert in the matter.

Ceph has much more public resources available (SwiftStack recently got acquired, seemed like they had most of the knowledge in the space), and I've actually set it up a few times now thanks to the excellent Rook[0].
It's definitely a lot easier to set up with Kubernetes (the tradeoff being you need to understand Kubernetes), but it's definitely manageable for a generalized sys admin (albeit one with a bit more experience). I've written about the process:

- Some sharp corner cases are definitely out there (issues/bug reports)
- Supported APIs aren't quite as extensive as the other options yet

There's also some previous discussion from 2020[0] that was interesting. I actually planned to use SeaweedFS and dip my toes with what I'm calling the "CloseCache" feature -- on-demand nearby proxies for the data that's really in your object storage. The idea was to take advantage of seaweed's excellent proxying features and kick the tires at the same time.
Somewhat off topic but I'd love to pick your brain, would you mind if I sent you an email?
Get an expert, or a consultant. You'd need a really experienced storage admin at the least, and possibly more.
