6-in-1: Build a 6-node Ceph cluster on this Mini ITX Motherboard

Описание: It's time to experiment with the new 6-node Raspberry Pi Mini ITX motherboard, the DeskPi Super6c! This video will explore Ceph, for storage clustering, since the board has six NVMe SSDs on the bottom, thanks to the video's sponsor, KIOXIA!
