Ceph Pacific is a major release of the Ceph distributed storage system scheduled for March 2021. It focuses on five key themes: usability, performance, ecosystem integration, multi-site capabilities, and quality. New features in Pacific include automated upgrades, improved dashboard functionality, snapshot-based CephFS mirroring, per-bucket replication in RGW, and expanded telemetry collection. Looking ahead, the Quincy release will focus on continued improvements in these areas such as resource-aware scheduling in cephadm and multi-site monitoring capabilities.
