Red Hat Ceph Storage experiences challenges in network recovery, UI complexity, and resource intensity. Improvements include enhancing Geo-replication, providing RDMA support, and refining installation processes. Performance and scalability issues persist, alongside integration and management difficulties. Compatibility with non-Red Hat environments needs attention. Users request better documentation, a failback solution for OpenStack, and support for additional protocols. There are concerns about operational overhead, especially with balancing and maintenance tasks, and the need for deduplication features.
- "Some documentation is very hard to find."
- "It takes some time to re-balance the storage in case of server failure."
- "We have encountered slight integration issues."
