Erasure Coding Calculator

Use this calculator to plan a Ceph erasure-coded pool. Enter your hardware layout and the erasure code parameters (k data chunks and m parity chunks), and the calculator will show usable capacity, raw capacity, storage efficiency, read/write IOPS, and the recommended CRUSH failure domain. It also generates the ceph osd erasure-code-profile set command you can run to create the profile.
