Basically, if an organization were to build a large PetaSAN cluster (scaling is what Ceph does best after all), and wanted to sublet it to different departments within the organization, those departments would be limited to space (the size of their LUNs) but that an option could also be enabled to limit IOPS to the LUN to prevent an org doing some IO heavy tasks from impacting IO performance to other departments using of the cluster.
I know my former employer (who wasn't using Ceph but who would be a good candidate for PetaSAN due to their vmware environment) had developers doing builds all the time, this would often impact performance for other users due to limited IOP resources available with the storage.
The ability to maybe do IO prioritization would also be good; so that if, for example, a backup job is running at 3AM and there is no competition for the resources, it can run wide open.
Thanks!

http://docs.ceph.com/docs/luminous/rados/configuration/osd-config-ref/#qos-based-on-mclock
https://www.spinics.net/lists/ceph-devel/msg39528.html
Once this has matured, we would add support to it.

How can I control a user's IOP?
Or QoS for PetaSAN

Strangely enough, I can't find anything just at a first glance however.
Edit: I spoke too soon! you can change your RBD QOS via librbd heres a link, scroll to bottom! https://people.redhat.com/bhubbard/nature/default/rbd/rbd-config-ref/
