DevOps Exchange San Francisco

Val Kulichenko, lead architect at GridGain Systems, will be the featured speaker at the  Oct. 25 DevOps Exchange San Francisco Meetup. His talk is titled, "Distributed Database DevOps Dilemmas? Kubernetes to the rescue!

Here's a summary of the talk:

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.
