Ceph Client

The ceph-client role copies the Ceph configuration file and administration keyring to a node. In addition, you can use this role to create custom pools and clients. To deploy the ceph-client role by using Ansible, see the Red Hat Ceph Storage 2 Installation Guide for Red Hat Enterprise Linux. Ceph kernel client (kernel modules).
