+
+High-level cluster operations consist primarily of starting, stopping, and
+restarting a cluster with the ``ceph`` service; checking the cluster's health;
+and, monitoring an operating cluster.

+
+Once you have your cluster up and running, you may begin working with data
+placement. Ceph supports petabyte-scale data storage clusters, with storage
+pools and placement groups that distribute data across the cluster using Ceph's
+CRUSH algorithm.

+
+Once you have data placement policies in place, you can begin creating users
+and assigning them capabilities, such as the ability to read and write data
+to one or more pools, or the cluster as a whole.

+
+Low-level cluster operations consist of starting, stopping, and restarting a
+particular daemon within a cluster; changing the settings of a particular
+daemon or subsystem; and, adding a daemon to the cluster or removing a daemon
+from the cluster. The most common use cases for low-level operations include
+growing or shrinking the Ceph cluster and replacing legacy or failed hardware
+with new hardware.
