Here’s another Ceph Manager Dashboard screencast, showcasing how the dashboard displays and reacts to ongoing changes in the Ceph cluster, e.g. when OSDs go down. Enjoy!

I created a short overview screencast of the Ceph Manager Dashboard, to give you an impression of what to expect in the upcoming Nautilus release. Enjoy!
Last weekend, I traveled to the beautiful city of Brno in the Czech Republic, to attend at speak at the DevConf.CZ open source conference. I had submitted a talk about our ongoing work on the Ceph Manager Dashboard and was very happy that it got accepted, as I haven’t been to a DevConf before.
The conference took place in the lecture halls of the Faculty of Information Technology at Brno University of Technology, which provided a very nice venue with lots of rooms and infrastructure (the WiFi was a tad bit slow, but usable). Still, some talks were so popular that the rooms were full and the session chairs had to block others from entering (something that other conferences like FOSDEM also suffer from). Fortunately, many of the sessions were recorded, so there is an opportunity to watch them later.
The overall organization of the conference was excellent, the organizers had really thought of everything and it was a pleasure to attend this event from a speaker/participant point of view. There was a cloak room, badges that clearly indicated your preference of being photographed or your preferred level of engagement in conversations with other attendees. Food was also available in good variety (both free and several paid-for additional options provided by food trucks). The organizers had also set up a group chat on Telegram, which was used to spread information to all participants quickly.
My talk Ceph Management and Monitoring with the Dashboard was scheduled for Saturday, 16:00, so I had some time to attend other sessions before and afterwards.
The session schedule was packed and I had a tough time to choose which ones to attend. I ended up with attending the following sessions:
Unfortunately I could only attend the conference on Saturday, as I was traveling to and back from the event by train on Friday and Sunday. I wished I could have stayed for more! I will definitely plan to go back there some time.
I took a few pictures during the event, which can be found on Flickr :
More pictures can also be found here and here.
In summary, I had a great time at DevConf.CZ and I can only highly recommend to plan on attending it if you get a chance!
