Exposing Ceph RADOS Block Device (RBD) images for access via an embedded USBstorage gadget can solve a number of factors limiting adoption, namely: * Ceph storage can now be consumed by almost any system with a USB port * Ease of use * Configure once, then plug and play anywhere * Security * Encryption can be performed on the USB device itself, reducing reliance on transport and cluster security and access control This presentation will introduce and demonstrate a Ceph USB storage gatewayprototype, running on an embedded Linux ARM board.
