Can Data Become a Declarative Resource?
The declarative, portable, self-healing nature that Kubernetes users are accustomed to in stateless deployments is replaced with complexity, resiliency issues, and portability restrictions when it comes to stateful workloads. In this synergizing DoKC session, Statehub head of marketing Roey Libfield, head of product Michael Greenberg , and DevOps lead Uri Zaidenwerg, discuss the challenges facing stateful Kubernetes and how to enjoy the same level of portability.

Designing Stateful Apps for the Cloud and Kubernetes
Almost all applications have some kind of stateful part. How do we navigate a cloud-based world of containers where stateless and functions-as-a-service are all the rage? As a long-time architect, designer, and developer of very stateful apps, Evan takes us on a journey through the modern cloud world and Kubernetes, offering helpful design patterns, considerations, tips, and where things are going.

Production Postgres Made Easy on Kubernetes
It’s one thing to get a database up and running on Kubernetes; it’s another to run it in production. There are many “Day 2” operations to manage when running any database in production, including high availability, backups, monitoring, security, and disaster recovery. Kubernetes operators can take care of that and also manage such as advanced features like self-healing, simple scaling, secure credential management, and more.

Kubernetes Standardization - What About the Data?
The DoK recent survey of 500 IT professionals found that most organizations are now running stateful workloads on Kubernetes. The benefits are clear: increased agility, scalability, and resilience. But to reap those benefits, organizations need to get a handle on managing all the resources first. And that includes data.

Developing a Multi-cluster Operator with the K8ssandra Operator
Cassandra is a highly scalable database with an architecture that makes it well suited for multi-region workloads. A Kubernetes cluster often spans across multiple zones within a single region. However, multi-region Kubernetes clusters are less common though due to the technical challenges that they present. This has led to a growing number of multi-cluster solutions.
