Does your Kubernetes installation need a boost for maximum DevOps efficiency?

(2020/10/19)


Webcast There’s many trendy and forward-looking ways to make DevOps processes easier, and while most people have heard of Kubernetes – an effective, open sourced system for orchestrating data containers – there’s various approaches and techniques to make it run as smoothly as possible.

The trick, as with anything when attempting to make everyone’s lives easier, is to make the Kubernetes infrastructure simpler to use and fully automated, while still effectively breaking down your data silos.

Cost and complexity can be substantially reduced by encouraging the network to truly talk to itself, making data work across multiple clusters and storage classes across those clusters, automatically adjusting to local resources and – basically – presenting a consistent and simple experience for DevOps teams.

Moving data only when necessary, performing backup and DR seamlessly across clouds but also skipping the need to access the network entirely if local storage has what it needs, the potential in common persistent Kubernetes workloads is great.

Deployable in minutes on existing infrastructure and making data instantly available in both on-premise and cloud environments without outages, it’s a way of doing Kubernetes that uses abstraction to maximise freedom while optimising against cost and performance.

Achieving this dream is what we’ll be tackling in [1]this upcoming webcast . At 9am PDT (12pm EDT) on October 20, 2020, The Register ’s Tim Phillips will be joined by Douglas Fallstrom from storage infrastructure experts Hammerspace and Edwin Thornhill from virtual infrastructure pros Veristor to show you the future.

Looking at ways to abstract data completely from the corporate infrastructure and virtualize it, with instant availability for any type of cloud or cluster, is the order of the day. Hammerspace will even be bringing a live demo along to back up these assertions.

The demo will help clearly lay out how a properly-optimised Kubernetes environment can instantly make data available across geo-dispersed clusters, create storage classes across those clusters to automatically adjust to what’s available in the ecosystem, and how this kind of setup can improve live data mobility and network load balancing by automation.

Please use an explicit test - I know gcc suggest just an extra set of
parenthesis, but I'm personally convinced that is just because some gcc
people have been damaged by too much LISP.
