What? Operating a small ceph cluster is almost a full time job, at least if you care about your data...

  People always think Ceph is super complicated but I promise you it isn't. I worked at a place where my (3 person) team and I operated a 1 PB Ceph cluster replicated across two datacenters along with literally every other service needed to run a production web app. It was one of the lowest maintenance services we deployed -- Kafka and our RabbitMQ clusters were the things that always gave us trouble.

    I was on a team that had a tiny (a few GBs) Ceph cluster because it was the easiest option for high availability of these files that we really wanted to have on premise. There were never any issues so I can believe what you're saying. Still, for the amount of data I work with, the cloud storage usually wins.
