==Scale-out S3 Pool Setup (Ceph RGW)==

Scale-out object and block storage configurations enable S3/SWIFT object storage access as well as iSCSI storage access to scale-out storage volumes. Scale-out storage uses replicas and/or erasure-coding technologies to ensure fault-tolerance and high-availability. Ceph technology is used within the platform so a Ceph cluster must first be created to enable this functionality.

===[[Create_Ceph_Cluster_Configuration|Create a Cluster]]===
Specify the new Ceph Cluster name along with the network interface configuration.

===[[Ceph_Multi_OSD_Create|Create an ''O''bject ''S''torage ''D''evice (OSD)]]===
Devices must be assigned to the cluster before storage pools may be provisioned. Systems with HDDs must also have some SSD in each system for use as WAL device(s).

===[[Ceph_Object_Zone_Create|Create an OSD]]===
A Zone (aka Object Pool Group) must be created before S3 storage buckets may be provisioned.

===[[Add_Rados_Gateway_To_Ceph_Cluster|Add S3/SWIFT Gateway]]===
Select the Ceph Cluster to add a new S3/SWIFT Gateway to and specify the network interface configuration.

===[[Ceph_User_Access_Create|Add S3/SWIFT Object User Access]]===
Select the Ceph Cluster to add a new S3/SWIFT Gateway to and specify the network interface configuration.

===[[Ceph_User_Access_Create|Create Ceph Bucket]]===
Create one or more User Access Entries (each contains an 'access key' and 'secret key') for accessing S3 Buckets.
