Some improvements I think are needed are greater stability and more up to date packages. The Ceph Cluster components that we've been looking at are still in the previous Hammer release. We were expecting the next release to be pretty much in line with it; at least not more than one behind. They're a couple behind at the minute. Maybe a better track to the upstream software would be good. With this obviously being an elastic type solution, the initial setup time seems to be taking a lot longer than we expected.
