The state of Kubernetes stateful workloads at DreamWorks
Interviewed by DoKC Head of Content Sylvain Kalache, Dreamworks’ Data Service Lead Ara Zarifian discusses how the company is managing stateful workloads on Kubernetes, key benefits, and challenges. DreamWorks currently runs 370 databases on over Kubernetes 1200 pods. Ara shares about the innovative standard they developed for Kubernetes operators. This innovation allowed them to grow the number of databases hosted on Kubernetes without needing to exponentially increase their DBAs headcount.

First Data on Kubernetes Report Published
Regardless of which survey you read, the use of Kubernetes is on the rise in organizations of all sizes. While Kubernetes was initially designed for stateless workloads, the community has made major strides in supporting stateful workloads. Today, we are excited to announce DoKC first research report about the state of data on Kubernetes!

Deployments vs StatefulSets vs Daemonsets
Kubernetes provides different resources for deploying applications, we will be looking at them and the differences between them and how can we persist data using each of them.

Intro to Persistence in Kubernetes
So you want want to run stateful containers? Check out a brief intro to persistence in Kubernetes. Kubernetes and persistent storage go together like oil and water. Kubernetes is inherently an ephemeral system and persistent storage by definition must survive. After this talk, you should have a clear understanding of how to get started on the path to successfully manage a persistent data storage solution on your Kubernetes cluster

How to Deploy PostgreSQL On Kubernetes Using OpenEBS
An Object-Relational Database (ORD) combines both entity-relationship modeling, and object-oriented mapping techniques to enable the efficient organization of data from a limited set of data types. As a result, this database model is often referred to as an intermediate solution between object-oriented and relational databases. Using Object-Relational Database Management Systems (ORDBMS), organizations can implement inheritance, enable complex data types that enable useful data manipulation, and extend existing data models.

Why you should be deploying Postgres primarily on Kubernetes
Running a Postgres installation, with or without containers, is trivial. However, setting up a production environment is a whole different matter. Postgres is not by itself a production-ready software: it requires a set of side tools to complement its functionality: connection pooling, monitoring, backup tools, high availability software, you name it. This is called the “Stack Problem”. This brief talk discusses the Stack Problem, understanding how Kubernetes is the platform that best solves it, and what the main advantages (and disadvantages!) are of running Postgres on Kubernetes.
