Red Hat Ceph Storage and ODF continue. The same team will continue to develop newer releases, now with dual IBM and RHT corporate access.

Open Source commitment, upstream first, and foundation continue as before.

I am a member of the team, and while we are certainly adjusting to the news, we are also pretty excited. Red Hat has been generous to Ceph, but it could not take Ceph beyond platform storage for OpenStack and Kubernetes — we want to reach for the full “Linux of Storage” original vision.
