Cephalocon 2019

Flipkart is a leading Indian e-commerce organization and requires a highly scalable and reliable storage infrastructure to meet its growing business-critical needs. To address them, Flipkart chose Ceph as an object store software, tech stack consists of load balancers, Nginx layer(Lua based), a set of Ceph Rados Gateway nodes. To meet up with the ever increasing demand, and to adhere to the SLAs agreed with the business critical applications, Ceph clusters are federated under a common endpoint with programmable nginx(Lua jit + Nginx). Federation of clusters helps us seamlessly grow the storage for iops, capacity and availability. Replicate the traffic to any cluster for qualifying a new Deployment form the Hardware/VM or new ceph release.Redirect the user traffic to new cluster seamlessly if the original cluster is unavailable.
