DoKC Town Hall: Ecosystem Day

Details

Ecosystem Day

DoK is a vendor-neutral space, but we also know organizations rely on vendors for different parts of their stack. So the Data on Kubernetes Community is giving vendors an opportunity to be shameless for our inaugural Ecosystem Day event! It’s your chance to learn about DoK-related services and technologies directly from the vendor, ask questions, and make connections.

Each vendor is given 5 minutes and most are presenting LIVE so feel free to ask questions in the chat. As always, be kind and respectful in your interactions.

If you’re interested in being connected to particular vendors after the event, we’ll be adding a form for you to fill out (that goes to DoKC staff). This does NOT sign you up for endless emails; it’s simply a way for us to introduce you 1:1 to the vendor to ask questions.

AGENDA

[10:00 AM]
Welcome and Community Updates

[10:05 AM]

We'll be hearing from industry leaders in the DoK landscape and see how they provide value to community members and end users in a 5 minute lightning talk format.

Full Speaker List
Cindy Ho - Dell Technologies: Crossing the Storage Chasm

As Kubernetes adoption expands to multicloud, DevOps teams need Kubernetes data storage capabilities that go beyond standard Container Storage Interface (CSI) drivers. At Dell, we are helping customers leap across the storage chasm by delivering enterprise-class Kubernetes data storage capabilities through our Dell APEX Navigator for Kubernetes.

Robert Hodges - Altinity: Helping Users Build Fast, Cheap, Modern Analytic Stacks

Open source software and Kubernetes have opened up new opportunities to analytic data cost-efficiently and quickly. Altinity enables customers to operate high-performance ClickHouse on any Kubernetes cluster. Run in our account or yours. We even support on-prem operation.

Peter Shuurman - Google: Cost Effective Availability with GKE Stateful HA Controller

Struggling to balance cost and availability for stateful apps on Kubernetes? Introducing the GKE Stateful High Availability Controller. This feature brings proactive scheduling to stateful applications while balancing cost and availability. We’ll cover two stateful architectures where the GKE Stateful HA Controller can deliver the sweet spot on the cost/availability curve.

Dean Steadman - NetApp: Intelligent Data Infrastructure for Kubernetes

NetApp Astra simplifies how you protect, move, and storage Kubernetes workload across hybrid multi-cloud environments.

Alvaro Hernandez - OnGres: Sharding Postgres on Kubernetes

Kubernetes operators are meant to automate and make it very easy to deploy and manage complex workloads, including stateful workloads like databases.At StackGres we have taken this to the extreme and made creating sharded Postgres clusters, one of the most complex Postgres deployments, a breeze.With a dozen lines of YAML (or the Web Console!) you can create production-ready sharded clusters with coordinators, workers with high availability, connection pooling and more.

Edith Puclla - Percona: Automating Database Operations with Percona Kubernetes Operators

Explore the impact of automating database operations using Percona Kubernetes Operators, a solution free from vendor lock-in. We will discover how these operators make managing databases in Kubernetes environments simpler, less prone to errors, and more flexible to your requirements. We'll explore examples of how automation significantly reduces the complexity and time involved in deploying, scaling, and managing databases, ensuring efficient and reliable infrastructure. Additionally, we'll highlight the enterprise-ready features that make Percona's approach unique and discuss the robust support available through the Percona and open-source community, ensuring your journey using our Operators is well-supported.

Matt LeBlanc - Avesha: Break through Data Gravity with KubeSlice

Breaking the hold of one cloud is challenging. Connecting k8s services between clouds requires the coordination of many people. What if it wasn't so difficult? Avesha's KubeSlice allows you to connect Multi-Cloud K8s clusters easily. Two use cases to discuss: migration and burst / partial migration.

Rob Reid - Cockroach Labs: Mission-Critical Applications in Kubernetes with CockroachDB

Discover how CockroachDB was built for the cloud; giving you Distributed SQL that survives any outage, scales horizontally, and ensures data consistency whether running in a single Kubernetes cluster, or multiple globally-distributed clusters across cloud providers.
