On behalf of the customer, we provided the optimal Kubernetes platform for ONAP as a managed service.
ONAP is a comprehensive platform for orchestration, management, and automation of network and edge computing services for network operators,
cloud providers, and enterprises. Real-time, policy-driven orchestration and automation of physical and virtual network functions enables rapid automation of new services and complete lifecycle management critical for 5G and next-generation networks.
For a client, we are developing a unified interface/service to manage Virtual Machines and Containers for the Private Cloud with Kubernetes, Openstack, CloudStack, Opennebula, VMWare vSphere and Hyperscalers, such as GCP, AWS and Azure.
We are currently focusing on the following advantages:
When moving a customer’s onpremise data centre to the public cloud, we were commissioned to plan the Ceph clusters for the Microsoft Azure environment for use with Microsoft Azure AKS. After an intensive testing and optimisation phase, we put the Ceph clusters into production there and took over the migration to the Microsoft Azure AKS offering.
Since 2021, we have supported one of our customers in the architecture and operation of more than 150 Kubernetes clusters with Ceph worldwide in all hyperscalers, such as GCP, AWS, Microsoft Azure and AliCloud.
Use of programming languages to define customised infrastructure environments using Terraform. Use of language constructs and tools that follow Infrastructure as Code (IoC) design patterns.
Use of functions and libraries within programming languages to develop complex infrastructure projects.
Use programming languages such as TypeScript, Python and Go to map multi-cloud environments. With the modular and open architecture to include hundreds of vendors and thousands of module definitions.
After more than 10 years of experience with different evolutionary stages of timeseries monitoring systems and the growing need for metrics, we decided to replace database and file based solutions.
To store metrics for the long term, we rely on object storage technology to provide almost unlimited storage capacity in the backend.
The Object Storage is provided to us by multiple Ceph clusters. We are now also able to dynamically connect alternative storage locations, such as AWS and/or GCP, as needed.
*TISAX* (Trusted Information Security Assessment Exchange) is a standard for information security defined by the automotive industry. A large number of automotive manufacturers and suppliers in the German automotive industry have required many business partners to have existing TISAX certification since 2017.

On behalf of the customer, we support the customer in replacing its existing storage solution and introducing and commissioning Ceph as a future-proof and TISAX-compliant storage solution for its internal processes and data volumes.
The customer decided to connect its existing environment with NFS and Kerberos authentication and for its private cloud to connect via RBD.
Hello Ceph community! It's that time again for another blog post! Recently, a user on the ceph subreddit asked whether Ceph could deliver 10K IOPs in a combined random read/write FIO workload from one client. The setup consists of 6 nodes with 2 4GB FireCuda NVMe drives each. They wanted to know if anyone would mind benchmarking a similar setup and report the results. Here at Clyso we are actively working on improving the Ceph code to achieve higher performance. We have our own tests and configurations for evaluating our changes to the code, but it just so happens that one of the places we do our work (the upstream ceph community performance lab!) appears to be a good match for testing this user's request. We decided to sit down for a couple of hours and give it a try. u/DividedbyPi, one of our friends over at 45drives.com, wrote that they are also going to give it a shot and report the results on their youtube channel in the coming weeks. We figure this could be a fun way to get results from multiple vendors. Let's see what happens!
Cephalocon 2023 in Amsterdam saw the entire Ceph community out in force. And Clyso had a big presence with six talks and as host of the whole event!
The Ceph Community hosted its first post-pandemic event at the Bloomberg offices in New York City. Ceph Day NYC was a great success!
