Tales & Teachings

Agenda

Welcome: Michael Cade @MichaelCade1, Senior Technologist, Product Strategy, Kasten by Veeam

Speaker: @bhavin04890 Bhavin Shah, Technical Marketing Manager @Portwx @PureStorage 

Abstract: Amazon EKS is one of the most widely used Kubernetes distributions, accounting for over 65% of container deployments. But, designing a robust solution using Amazon EKS clusters, such that there aren’t any single points of failure, is difficult. Join us for this session and we will talk about how you can architect a solution using Amazon EKS and Portworx that helps you avoid application downtime and handle failure events like Node failures, Availability Zone failures, Region failures, cluster failures, etc.

Speakers:  Tim Myers @timtech4real, COTO & Geoff Burke @CloudRestore, Senior Cloud Solutions Architect @Tsunatiinc

Abstract: In this presentation we will recount the transition from providing traditional data protection to Container and Kubernetes backup.

What are differences?

What surprised us?

What are the gotchas?

What should a backup Administrator do to remain relevant in the brave new world of container data protection?

We will also perform a brief comparison of two backup jobs. The first being a traditional VM backup, the second a Kubernetes backup. This will explain the different approaches to data protection, and also help answer the question of why we need a new form of backup for container workloads.

Speaker: @sh0dan Klaus Post,  Engineer @MinIO

Abstract: This talk includes a discussion of the importance of small object support for AI/ML/DL and analytics workloads and how MinIO’s architecture makes it uniquely suited to excel where other object storage typically fails – housing a data lake of log files and streaming data. We will discuss recent benchmarks demonstrating MinIO’s capacity for high IOPS and high throughput on small objects. We will conclude with a demo .tar and ZIP file support in an ML pipeline. 
 

Speakers: Randy Kerns, Senior Strategist, Janae Stow Lee, Consulting Analyst, & Camberley Bates, Managing Director/Analyst @evaluator_group

Abstract: On the past year Evaluator Group has engaged with IT Pros on Container Management Platform technology decisions.  In this session we will discuss the challenges and issues the IT operations are facing, including staffing and changing roles.  We will also discuss how different business drivers impact the decisions being made at the executive level.

Speakers: Audrey Reznik Guidera, Sr Principal Software Engineer & Troy Nelson, Software Engineer, @RedHat

Abstract: As a Data Scientist it is often difficult to know where to start your project. Do I test and build my model in an IDE? If I build and test my model in an IDE, how do I connect to my resources such as streaming data or databases? How can I optimize my model inference performance? Once I have optimized my model how do I easily deploy and manage it? 

For a data scientist who just wants to build their model these are questions that they really don’t want to think about. Data Scientists just want to be able to sit down and write their algorithms. Is there a way to make the model development/interaction easier for Data Scientists? Yes there is! And that is through the use of managed services & applications available in the Red Hat OpenShift Data Science platform! 

In this session we will discuss a painless way to build, test, train and deploy models using the Red Hat OpenShift Data Science platform. In particular we will cover:

  1. A Model’s role in an intelligent application
  2. What are Managed Services & Who uses them?
  3. What do Managed Services have to do with model development & delivery?
  4. Demo of using the Red Hat OpenShift Data Science platform
