Wtf would they invest money into authoring yet another open source s3 implementation? What's wrong with all the other implementations that was better fixed by building another than by contributing to the existing projects?
In their event they said they do it because their largest drives are immediately adopted by cloud but not by enterprise. Their github has a FAQ that discusses this too.
They need to offer block and file services if they want attention from enterprise and the rest of the world. With few exceptions object-only ultimately means cloud-only.
At any rate it would be pretty difficult to unseat Ceph at this point.
A bit of a caveat/confession up-front. I am not unbiased. I wrote an HSM connector for a luster about two years ago and have been very involved with pushing CEPH to its peak performance since then.
I know a few of the folks that took both Luster and Ceph as their reference point and who asked themselves if they could do it better with 15 years of hindsight. As JBODS yield to RBODS and geographic replication learns erasure coding, I think they found a way to do better.
Before sloughing off the struggle of old dogs having to learn new tricks we should consider not one open-source object store on the planet was invented before storage drives reached their CHS limits. Things have changed.
It's not perfect, but the storage subsystem of CortX is worth taking a look at. Even if you have to learn some new tricks...
