Tuning Templates

It would be nice if we had a definition for :

Generic Entry Level Hardware

Generic High End Hardware

Generic Mid Range Hardware.

This would make it easy to select the correct template.

The templates provide different configurations of Ceph/Linux kernel/LIO iSCSI target that are suitable for different level of hardware performance. You can view the different values by clicking "Show Details" and can provide your own template by choosing "Custom".

I agree with you that having 3 generic templates with names like entry-level/mid-range/high-end is not an accurate description (hence we named them generic)  for the user to choose from,  but given the large variation in hardware it is the best we can do now. In the future we hope that advanced users and possibly hardware vendors will share their recommended configurations for their specific hardware with us and we would label these templates in a more specific manner like "vendor xx model yy all SSD".  What i would recommend for now is to try more than 1 template and build a small test cluster and see which gives the best performance for your existing hardware setup.
