> ZFS and Ceph is apples to oranges.

Oxide is shipping an on-prem 'cloud appliance'. From the customer's/user's perspective of calling an API asking for storage, it does not matter what the backend is—apple or orange—as long as "fruit" (i.e., a logical bag of a certain size to hold bits) is the result that they get back.



Yes, it could be NTFS behind the scenes, but this is still an apples to oranges comparison because the storage service Oxide created is Crucible[0], not ZFS. Crucible is more of an apples to apples comparison with Ceph.
