RAID is the classical approach to making storage devices more reliable, however data in any RAID configuration is still prone to bit-flips, and data recovery is still a manual procedure. Configuring Ceph requires understanding and manually configuring `cephadm, ceph, rbd, rados`, four different software tools in order to set up a single Ceph storage cluster. This has caused developers to create `rook`: a ceph automation tool which piggybacks off of `kubernetes` to simplify deploying ceph; since ceph is so complicated, but even then you still need to learn `kubernetes` to maintain a `ceph` cluster via `rook`. VFS on the other hand only requires a single `yaml` file to describe the ip addresses and disks (size and shape) of your storage infrastructure, we provide scripts which will deploy and scale up VaultFS to fit your `yaml` infrastructure target. No need to learn any command-line tools to spin up a basic SwissVaultFS cluster, however we do also provide the `vman` VaultFS management tool for admins who want to manually configure which directories to assign higher storage importance.
