More often than not, a Kubernetes Deployment, with a Service, Ingress, and Horizontal Pod Autoscaler (HPA) is enough. Almost everyone can do it. But, when it comes to stateful applications, things become a bit more complicated. We might need a database and storage. We might need to manage database users and schema. We might need to consider quite a few other things. Stateful apps are harder for everyone, especially...

Data on Kubernetes Community The Kubernetes Native Database // Jeffrey Carpenter (DoK Day North America 2022)From the DoK Day North America 2022 (https://youtu.be/YWTa-DiVljY) ABSTRACT In the software industry we’re fond of terms that define major trends, like “cloud native”, “Kubernetes native” and “serverless”. As more and more organizations move stateful workloads to Kubernetes, we’ve started to see these terms applied to data infrastructure, where they can get overtaken by marketing hype unless we work to define them. In this talk, we’ll examine two different databases, TiDB and Apache Cassandra, in order to identify what it means for a database to be Kubernetes native and why it matters...

Data on Kubernetes Community Why run Postgres in Kubernetes (DoK Day EU 2022) // Gabriele Bartolinihttps://go.dok.community/slack https://dok.community/ From the DoK Day EU 2022 (https://youtu.be/Xi-h4XNd5tE) Postgres should run inside your Kubernetes cluster. Yes, inside, not outside Kubernetes. After all, a database should be seen as an application, a special type of application - for which it is legitimate to require an additional level of care and attention. However, the small price you pay for this is worth the return on investment that your organization receives by running microservice applications, plus database combos, inside your Cloud Native infrastructure.

Data on Kubernetes Community What we've learned from running a PostgreSQL managed service on Kubernetes (DoK Day EU 2022) // Oleksii Kliukinhttps://go.dok.community/slack https://dok.community/ From the DoK Day EU 2022 (https://youtu.be/Xi-h4XNd5tE) Kubernetes is an emerging platform of choice for deploying and running PostgresSQL. Deploying 100 Postgres clusters is as easy as deploying one, and there is no need to tinker with tools like Ansible or Puppet. Resource sharing can be applied when it makes sense, allowing to run multiple Postgres databases in isolation on a single instance, each storing the data on a dedicated persistent volume. There are great open-source tools out there to deal with h...

It allows us to potentially pay for only that which we use and can help drive down operational costs to the minimal amount of resources necessary. Architecting for serverless requires a unique look at app logic and the way it is deployed. It takes a combination of the logical and physical worlds.

Data on Kubernetes Community The many uses of Kubernetes cross cluster migration of persistent data (DoK Day EU 2022) // Ryan Kawhttps://go.dok.community/slack https://dok.community/ From the DoK Day EU 2022 (https://youtu.be/Xi-h4XNd5tE) Multiple clusters exist in most Kubernetes environments today, and number of clusters will increase overtime. The reasons for having multiple Kubernetes clusters are many, for example, overcoming scale limits, reducing complexity, geo separation, redundancy and having separate production, staging, and development environments. Once you have multiple K8S clusters, it can be useful to have the ability to easily move or duplicate workloads across these different clusters. Kubernetes does not have a native method t...

However, as Kubernetes developed, the whole community worked hard to bring stateful workloads to meet the needs of their enterprise users. As a result, Kubernetes introduced StatefulSets which supports stateful workloads since Kubernetes version 1.9. Users of Kubernetes now can use stateful applications like databases, AI workloads, and big data. Kubernetes support for stateful workloads comes in the form of StatefulSets. And as we all k...
