tl;dr version: it's shite.  the longer story...it's shite and focused on 
linux pretty much.

i kid i kid - it's def some interesting technology, but even before 
RedHat acquired Inktank there was a ton of linux specific foo baked into 
the code.

and even if you are running it on linux it's really unstable IMHO 
outside of some specific use-cases.  but even then, using it as a block 
storage backend for openstack for example, it is definitely not for the 
faint of heart to implement and maintain at scale.

just my two bits - i'm sure there are plenty of counterpoints out there 
- but i've often put lots of hope that ceph will mature into a product 
as it would have made my life *much* easier only to be disappointed.
