- Add a new host to the cluster:

`sudo cephadm add-host {{hostname}} {{ip_address}}`

- Deploy a specific service (e.g., mgr, mon, osd):

`sudo cephadm deploy {{service_type}} --name {{service_name}}`

- Check the status of cluster services:

`sudo cephadm shell -- ceph {{[-s|--status]}}`

- Enter a shell environment inside the Ceph container:

`sudo cephadm shell`

- Remove a service from the cluster:

`sudo cephadm rm-service {{service_type}} --name {{service_name}}`
