■ NEW TO THE BIG SCREEN ————————

In this week's video, Mitch talks about how Ceph orchestration tools are used at 45Drives.

We recently received a list of questions from a user on Reddit that centers around our Houston Command Center and our Ceph Deploy module specifically.

Rather than answer them all individually, Mitch discusses the relationship between Houston, Ceph Deploy, and the Ceph Dashboard to give you a better understanding of how to set up and manage your Ceph infrastructure.

Check it out below!
