Cloud Native Storage & Breaking down data silos with ML & AI

Agenda:

Get together (18:30 - 19:00)

1. Cloud Native Storage and StorageOS, Alex Chircop, Founder and CTO, StorageOS

Abstract

In this talk we will discuss cloud native storage technologies and how they integrate with K8s in orchestrated workloads. We will be covering an overview of the cloud native storage landscape as defined in the CNCF Storage Landscape Whitepaper, including comparing the different architectural approaches and designs in terms of key attributes like availability, scalability, performance, data consistency, durability, fault tolerance, ease of development and operational complexity. We will then explain how StorageOS fits into this landscape and how you can use StorageOS to run stateful workloads in K8s.

2. Breaking down data silos: federated and privacy preserving analytics & AI, by Dr. Michale Höh, Founder & CTO apheris AI

Abstract

The success of machine learning and deep learning techniques is directly proportional to the amount and diversity of data available for training the algorithms – yet data is often distributed across different datasets and data can’t be centralized due to regulatory restrictions or fear of losing IP. New techniques out of the field of privacy preserving computations can solve these problems and help to break down data silos and closed data ecosystem. In this session we will show which collaboration opportunities arise when data privacy and the IP of data can be mathematically and cryptographically secured.

3. A deep dive into Cloud-Native Storage by Shantanu Deshpande, SRE @ Clouds Sky

Cloud-Native Storage Orchestrators for Kubernetes like Rook, OpenEBS, StorageOS and Portworx are on the rise, Shantanu will show us how to use them on your K8s Clusters and on Rancher Kubernetes Engine.
