  UDS Discussion:
  
  Glance has supported ceph as a  a backend storage for the past couple of
  releases of openstack. We should make it as easy as possible for users
  to use ceph with glance. This could be an alternative for users who do
  not want to setup for a full swift setup.
  
  TODO
  
  Upstream CEPH changed significantly just now.
  keystone+ceph:  no good story here right now
  
  Arch issues are bugs.
  
  User Stories:
  
- ??
+ Tony decides that he would like to use an alternative to Swift to
+ support object storage in OpenStack. Ubuntu provides Ceph as a supported
+ technology so he is able to integrate this into his customized OpenStack
+ deployment.
+ 
+ Frank has a requirement for storing objects in a resilient, distributed
+ fashion using a RESTful API. He selects Ceph on Ubuntu as a Canonical
+ supported offering to meet this requirement.
+ 
+ June wants to get started quickly with Ceph; using the latest charm from
+ the Juju charm store she is quickly and easily able to get a running
+ Ceph cluster on bare metal using MAAS.
  
  Assumptions:
  
  - Ceph will not replace swift as the default supported image store during 12.10
- -
+ - All testing will be functional and not performance/benchmark driven.
+ - Ceph will remain the Ubuntu main
  
  Test Plans:
  
- ??
+ - Test Ceph using XFS based storage.
+ 
+ - Test Ceph using BTRFS based storage.
+ 
+ - Test Charm
  
  Release Note:
  
- ??
+ Ubuntu 12.10 provides Ceph 0.4x, a distributed object storage
+ technology.  Ceph has been tested with XFS and BTRFS during this
+ development cycle.
