How to optimize and scale cloud-native application storage (Rodney Karemba, Ondat)
Whether you are looking to build applications on-premises or in the cloud, the capacity vs throughput challenge with modern HDD/SSD/NVME devices can leave you with wasted capacity, unprotected volumes, or applications struggling for performance. Using Ondat we can virtualize this storage layer and solve these and other issues, all the while cost optimizing your investment in these resources.
Join the session to learn how:
-To build K8s cluster
-Install Ondat to deploy stateful workloads
-Provide performance to the right pods at the right time

Rodney has recently joined Ondat as a Customer Solutions Architect. Rodney has plenty of experience working with enterprise customers and solving real-life Kubernetes problems.

Understanding design, performance and benchmarking of Kubernetes (Dean Lewis, VMWare)
This session will cover the considerations and tooling available to help you understand design decisions, performance and benchmarking of a Kubernetes environment running in a virtualisation environment.

Dean Lewis is a Cloud Solution Architect for VMware. Focusing his time on cloud management and modern applications areas. Find him on Twitter: @saintdle and his blog is vEducate.co.uk.
