If you work in infrastructure, storage, or open source, you’ve probably heard of Ceph. You might even be running it already. But understanding how to get the most out of Ceph and keep it healthy, scalable, and reliable is where many teams might hit a wall.
That’s exactly why we built our Ceph training.
Not a conference talk. Not a YouTube tutorial. An in-depth, hands-on, expert-led program for people who want to get better at running Ceph in production and learn about the internals of Ceph. Here’s what it’s all about.
Who this training is for
Our Ceph training is designed for engineers, architects, and operators who already touched Ceph in some way or plan to. You might be:
- A DevOps or SRE maintaining a cluster and occasionally firefighting
- A system admin trying to move from “it works” to “it’s stable and scalable”
- A cloud architect designing an OpenStack, Kubernetes, Proxmox, AI platform or any other storage software defined environment with Ceph as the storage backend
- Someone who’s self-taught and ready to deepen their understanding
You don’t need to be a Ceph expert going in. You just need some Linux skills and a desire to understand what’s going on under the hood.
What you’ll learn
This is not a slide-heavy lecture. It’s real-world Ceph knowledge, delivered by people who run clusters every day. We cover:
- Ceph design principles and what Ceph is designed for
- Principles of tuning and troubleshooting
- Ceph architecture and how all the pieces fit together
- Best practices for scaling, managing failures, and planning upgrades
- Common pitfalls (and how to avoid them)
- And more
There’s plenty of time for questions, discussion, and applying concepts in a lab setting. You’ll leave with a much deeper understanding and more confidence.
Why it’s worth it
We’ve trained teams at enterprises, research institutions, cloud providers and many other companies. What they all say: “I wish we’d done this sooner.” Don’t just take our word for it, explore our success stories through the following link and see the impact for yourself: https://42on.com/success_stories/
This training doesn’t just help you avoid downtime. It helps you make smarter decisions, reduce stress, and build storage platforms you can actually trust. That’s a big deal when Ceph is at the heart of your infrastructure.
Plus, it’s a chance to learn directly from experts, get answers to your specific challenges, and connect with others facing similar problems.

We run a limited number of trainings each year to keep them focused and personal. If you’re interested in joining the next one, get in touch through the following link: https://42on.com/services/training/
