NVMe-over-Fabrics (NVMeoF) is a widely adopted, de facto standard in remote block storage access. Ceph clients use the RADOS protocol to access RBD images, but there are good reasons to enable access via NVMeoF: to allow existing NVMeoF storage users to easily migrate to Ceph and to enable the use of NVMeoF offloading hardware. This talk presents our effort to provide native NVMeoF support for Ceph. We discuss some of the challenges, including multi-pathing for fault tolerance and performance.
