ABSTRACT OF THE TALK

Yellowbrick's cloud data warehouse is natively integrated with Kubernetes. Not only does Kubernetes provide the elasticity, resilience and upgradeability expected of a modern data warehouse, it also enables Yellowbrick to be deployed anywhere: in public clouds, private clouds and at the network edge. During this talk, we will dive into the details of how we use Kubernetes to power our data warehouse solution, how we've created a SQL interface to Kubernetes, and give a live demo. We'll also talk about the business value that enterprises can derive from such a flexible solution built on Kubernetes.

KEY TAKE-AWAYS FROM THE TALK

You'll come away with: an understanding of the business value derived from a Kubernetes-based data warehouse; insight into our SQL interface to Kubernetes; and the overall capabilities of Yellowbrick
