Docker New York City Meetup
Denis Magda, director of product management at GridGain Systems and Vice President of the Apache Ignite PMC, will present: "Distributed Database DevOps Dilemmas? Kubernetes to the rescue!"
Distributed databases can make so many things easier for a developer, but not always for DevOps. Kubernetes has come to the rescue with an easy application orchestration!
It is straightforward to do the orchestration leaning on relational databases as a data layer. However, it is more difficult to do the same when a distributed SQL database or other kind of distributed storage is used instead.
In this presentation, attendees will learn how Kubernetes can orchestrate a distributed database like Apache Ignite, in particular:
- Cluster Assembling - database nodes auto-discovery in Kubernetes.
- Database Resilience - automated horizontal scalability.
- Database Availability - what’s the role of Kubernetes and the database.
- Utilizing both RAM and disk - set up Apache Ignite in a way to get in-memory performance with the durability of disk.
