The IT Department at CERN (European Organization for Nuclear Research) operates a large-scale computing and storage infrastructure for processing scientific data and providing IT services to its user community. Ceph is a critical part of this picture as it provides: 1. Block storage for the OpenStack infrastructure (440k cores - 25 PB), 2. S3 object storage for cloud-native applications, HTTP-based software distribution, and backup needs (16 PB), 3. CephFS for shared filesystems in HPC clusters and storage persistency in OpenShift and Kubernetes (7 PB). In the past year, our Ceph infrastructure has been largely restructured with the goal of offering storage solutions for High(er) Availability and Disaster Recovery / Business Continuity. In this presentation we will detail how we transitioned from a single RBD zone to multiple Storage AZs; how we hardened and optimized RBD snapshot mirroring for OpenStack; how we integrated a restic-based CephFS backup orchestrator with Manila; and our experience merging two independent S3 clusters into a single multi-region Zonegroup, as well as experimentation with Maglev load balancing.
