OS Recommendations
====================
Ceph Dependencies
=================
As a general rule, we recommend deploying Ceph on newer releases of Linux.
We also recommend deploying on releases with long-term support.
Linux Kernel
------------
- **Ceph Kernel Client**
If you are using the kernel client to map RBD block devices or mount
CephFS, the general advice is to use a "stable" or "longterm
maintenance" kernel series provided by either http://kernel.org or
your Linux distribution on any client hosts.
For RBD, if you choose to *track* long-term kernels, we currently recommend
4.x-based "longterm maintenance" kernel series:
- 4.9.z
- 4.4.z
For CephFS, see `CephFS best practices`_ for kernel version guidance.
Older kernel client versions may not support your `CRUSH tunables`_ profile
or other newer features of the Ceph cluster, requiring the storage cluster
to be configured with those features disabled.
Platforms
=========
The charts below show how Ceph's requirements map onto various Linux
platforms. Generally speaking, there is very little dependence on
specific distributions aside from the kernel and system initialization
package (i.e., sysvinit, upstart, systemd).

Notes
-----
- **1**: The default kernel has an older version of ``btrfs`` that we do not
recommend for ``ceph-osd`` storage nodes. We recommend using ``XFS``.
- **2**: The default kernel has an old Ceph client that we do not recommend
for kernel client (kernel RBD or the Ceph file system). Upgrade to a
recommended kernel.
- **3**: The default kernel regularly fails in QA when the ``btrfs``
file system is used. We do not recommend using ``btrfs`` for
backing Ceph OSDs.
Testing
-------
- **B**: We build release packages for this platform. For some of these
platforms, we may also continuously build all ceph branches and exercise
basic unit tests.
- **I**: We do basic installation and functionality tests of releases on this
platform.
- **C**: We run a comprehensive functional, regression, and stress test suite
on this platform on a continuous basis. This includes development branches,
pre-release, and released code.
