Compression or deduplication in Ceph

I am currently running a proxmox 5.0 beta server with ceph (luminous) storage.

I am trying to reduce the size of my ceph pools as I am running low on space.

Does ceph have some kind of option to use compression or deduplication to reduce the size of the pool on disk?

In addition to switching to Bluestore I found that Ceph supports Cache Tiering.

Would it be possible to add a "cold-storage" pool to the existing "hot-storage" pool (current pool are SSD's)?
If so, witch of the 2 pools do I have to create the Proxmox RBD storage on?

The "cold-storage" pool would be configured as an Erasure coded pool to save space (save ~40%).
