I'd like to start using ceph snapshots for our accounting system kvm .
then be able to use the snapshot for vm storage. so we can fire up the vm to look at historical data. we currently use rsync to other running vm's . I figure ceph snapshots [ like zfs snapshots] would be a lot faster then using rsync.
Has anyone played with creating vm's using a ceph snapshot? If so any tips for starting down this path?
PS: the documentation is well written: http://docs.ceph.com/docs/mimic/rbd/rbd-snapshot/ .
