Ceph Training - Built on Real Upstream Expertise

Ceph 101 — Foundation Training

Ceph 101 is the entry point into production-grade Ceph operations.

The training is designed for engineers who want to build a solid technical foundation and understand how Ceph works in real-world environments.

Designed by upstream contributors, the training combines architectural understanding with hands-on operational knowledge drawn from real deployments.

Participants gain practical insight into how Ceph is deployed, operated, and maintained in production.
