The authors and maintainers would be freezing the development of gdeploy and would be focusing on gluster-ansible project. There would be no further feature development. However the existing code base would have community support till the lifecycle of Gluster 3.x series (Bugfixes only). The gdeploy-2.0.9 would be the last release avaialable.
Gluster - 4.0 and beyond : We are pushing all the existing modules to upstream ansible project and would be available as storage module within Ansible project. The deployment stratergy would be an Ansible Role.
Distributions : Both the FedoraProject and CentOS would be shipping the gdeploy-2.0.9 RPMS for gluster Project for the 3.x series and would be community supported.
These are gdeploy 2.0 release notes. Lists the features and changes introduced in 2.0.
gdeploy is a tool to set-up and deploy GlusterFS using Ansible over multiple hosts. gdeploy is written to be modular, it can be used to deploy any software depending on how the configuration file is written.
gdeploy can be used to set-up bricks for GlusterFS, create a GlusterFS volume and mount it on one or more clients from an ansible installed machine. The framework reads a configuration file and applies on the hosts listed in the configuration file.
