DoK Talk: Data Compliance Across Multiple Regions with KubeSlice

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 first DoK Talk virtual event in January 2024! DoK Talks are presented by Data on Kubernetes Community members sharing best practices, use cases, and other practical advice to help end users on their data on Kubernetes (DoK) journey.

[10:00 AM]
Data Compliance Across Multiple Regions with KubeSlice
Presented by:
Prasad Dorbala, Chief Product Officer @ Avesha
Olyvia Rakshit, VP Marketing and Product UX @ Avesha

Session Description
If you’re operating a global business spanning multiple countries, you must also ensure the data in your clusters complies with region-specific laws such as GDPR or CCPA. A common pattern organizations employ is to reserve certain whole clusters for each region. This often leads to increased costs and underutilization of resources in locations where a full cluster is not needed.

KubeSlice is an open source solution that enables connectivity, management, control, and workload placement so applications no longer need to be bound to a single cloud or location. Its unique capability to create isolated “slices” within a cluster that can be “stretched” to multi-cluster and allows for precise policy settings per slice, ensuring compliance with various regional laws.

KubeSlice enhances the Data on Kubernetes ecosystem by providing functionality for managing data stored on PVs in multiple regions that are compliant. This functionality provided by KubeSlice helps you manage compliant slices in multiple regions and pushes adoption into new areas.

In this talk, you will get an introduction to KubeSlice and gain understanding of how to create a slice with specific policies in different regions that are isolated from each other.
