Ceph offers several storage interfaces; first choose the one your application actually needs. Pilot a representative object, block, or file workload, then test a failure during reads and writes. Check latency, consistency expectations, and how the application behaves while the cluster recovers.
Ceph's flexibility carries operational cost. Plan hardware, network, monitoring, upgrades, and independent backups before moving important data. A cluster that survives one disk failure still needs a tested restore from deletion or corruption.
