Deep-Dive Debugging: Use Ceph logs and diagnostic tools to identify and resolve issues in production environments. Linux & Hardware Tuning: Optimize the Linux OS (kernel, networking, and I/O) and server hardware (BIOS/firmware) for peak Ceph performance. Operational Automation: Create scripts and automation to handle routine maintenance and CRUSH map cleanups. Lifecycle Management: Execute major and minor Ceph version upgrades to ensure cluster stability and security. Performance Engineering: Conduct deep-dive performance investigations and tuning if required.
