Red Hat Ceph Storage and Its Compatibility With Other Products

Red Hat Ceph Storage Documentation Team

Abstract

This document describes compatibility of various Red Hat Ceph Storage versions with other products.
Red Hat is committed to replacing problematic language in our code, documentation, and web properties. We are beginning with these four terms: master, slave, blacklist, and whitelist. Because of the enormity of this endeavor, these changes will be implemented gradually over several upcoming releases. For more details, see our CTO Chris Wright's message.
