KodeInfra – Ceph Cluster Management
KodeInfra’s Ceph module enables organizations to deploy, manage, and scale distributed storage systems using Ceph — with a complete UI and API-driven experience. It simplifies operational complexity for DevOps, Platform, and SRE teams managing high-performance block, object, and file storage.
What is KodeInfra Ceph?
KodeInfra Ceph is an agentless, enterprise-grade module that allows you to:
- Deploy and initialize Ceph clusters across VMs or bare-metal
- Assign roles such as MON, OSD, RGW, MDS, MGR to nodes
- Visualize the OSD tree and monitor storage state in real-time
- Add or remove nodes securely via SSH
- Manage cluster events, audit logs, and services through UI
Key Features
- Role-Based Provisioning – Assign MON, OSD, RGW, MGR, and MDS roles during node creation.
- Cluster Initialization – Start Ceph clusters via
cephadmwith modular YAML-driven playbooks. - OSD Tree Visualizer – View storage layout, disk status, and host topology in real-time.
- Node Management – Add/remove storage nodes dynamically.
- Audit Logs & Cluster Events – Capture all operations with full traceability.
- Vault Integration – Store SSH credentials and Ceph access keys securely.
Why Use KodeInfra for Ceph?
| Benefit | Description |
|---|---|
| Full Role Management | Control over MON, OSD, RGW, MDS, MGR without CLI scripting. |
| Automation | Cluster bootstrapping, disk discovery, and role assignment done via API or UI. |
| Observability | Visualize OSD tree and node health metrics live. |
| Extensible | Pluggable with existing observability, backup, and logging solutions. |
| Open & Modular | No vendor lock-in, built on top of upstream cephadm and Linux. |
How is it Different?
KodeInfra Ceph is more than a simple wrapper over cephadm. It offers:
- UI-based lifecycle management with full support
- Secure SSH execution model (no agents on nodes)
- Real-time OSD tree, event logs, and visual feedback
- Multi-role orchestration per node
- Built-in tenant separation for MSPs or isolated workloads
Who Should Use This?
- Enterprises managing on-prem, hybrid, or edge Ceph deployments
- Cloud-native providers offering Ceph-based storage as a service
- SRE teams needing repeatable storage orchestration workflows
- Regulated industries needing full control over storage systems
KodeInfra makes Ceph operationally simple — no need to manage daemons, scripts, or CLI jungles. Just manage storage, at scale.
