We DESTROYED Our Production Ceph Cluster

If you have been a fan of us for many years, you would have remembered that we started out doing longer-form educational videos focusing on our products and services.

Back in 2016-2017, we did a video showcasing the resilience of storage clustering by attempting to interrupt a file transfer while failing the servers in the cluster. We did this by unplugging drives, power cables, etc and then showed how to bring everything back up and online as if we just survived a catastrophic failure. To watch those previous videos, check them out here:    • Clustering: Trying to Destroy A Clust...   and also here:    • Destroying a Storage Cluster PART 2: ...  

Because that video was so popular, we decided to recreate the video using Ceph. In this video, Brett attempts to destroy our production cluster by starting a file transfer and unplugging the systems - and after all is said and done - he brings it back up and online as if nothing ever happened!
