Kubernetes is the most popular container orchestration platform, but many companies are finding challenges with deploying stateful applications in a Kubernetes environment. These applications require data persistence, high availability, scalability, and performance optimization to function effectively.
In my upcoming presentation at KubeCon / CloudNativeCon titled “Navigating the Complexities of Stateful Workloads in Kubernetes: The Essential Role of Software-Defined Storage,” I will explore how to create stateful workloads in Kubernetes. Before we dive into an overview of my session, be sure to check out this web page for the complete Rakuten Cloud activities at KubeCon.
This session is ideal for Kubernetes developers, architects, engineers, community leaders, end users.
Whether you're just beginning your Kubernetes journey or looking to enhance your existing setup, this session will provide actionable insights and practical guidance on leveraging SDS to unlock the full potential of your stateful workloads in Kubernetes.
It’s going to be a very interesting session for anyone who is serious about deploying stateful workloads. If that is you, I hope to see you there.
The key to success for the stateful workloads is Software-Defined Storage (SDS). In my talk, I'll dive into the essential aspects of deploying SDS, from ensuring data persistence and high availability to optimizing performance and managing costs. You will learn about the pitfalls of relying on local volumes and the complexities that lie beneath the surface of stateful workloads.
We'll also discuss how SDS provides a scalable, flexible, and secure solution that seamlessly integrates with Kubernetes, enabling organizations to run stateful applications efficiently and effectively at scale.
