Ceph RESTful API

Edit online

As a storage administrator, you can use the Ceph RESTful API, or simply the Ceph API, provided by the IBM Storage Ceph Dashboard to interact with the IBM Storage Ceph cluster. You can display information about the Ceph Monitors and OSDs, along with their respective configuration options. You can even create or edit Ceph pools.

The Ceph API uses the following standards:

  • HTTP 1.1

  • JSON

  • MIME and HTTP Content Negotiation

  • JWT

These standards are OpenAPI 3.0 compliant, regulating the API syntax, semantics, content encoding, versioning, authentication, and authorization.
