DoKC Town Hall: Implementing Data & Databases on K8s within the Dutch Government

We are the Data on Kubernetes Community (DoKC), where end users go to share best practices for running data workloads on Kubernetes.

We're excited to host our monthly DoKC Town Hall virtual event in July 2023! This is an event to bring the community together to meet each other, share end-user journey stories, DoK-related projects and technologies, and keep you up-to-date on community events and ways to participate. Meetings will be held on the third Thursday of each month at 10am PT.

Implementing Data & Databases on K8s within the Dutch Government
Presented by Sebastiaan Mannem, Director at Mannem Solutions

A small walkthrough of projects within the Dutch government running databases on OpenShift. This talk shares success stories, provides a proven recipe to `get it done` and debunks some of the FUD.

About Sebastiaan:
Sebastiaan has always been a weird DBA, trying to combine Databases with out-of-the-box thinking and a DevOps mindset. Around 2016 he fell in love with both Postgres and Kubernetes, and then committed his life to enabling Dutch organisations to run their Database workloads CloudNative.

Over the last few years he worked as a private contractor for 2 large government agencies doing exactly that, and he wants to share his and others (success stories) hoping to enable and inspire Data on Kubernetes adoption.
