Cloud enterprise consumers spend millions of dollars each month renting space on computers owned by cloud providers. Cloud Spot markets as provided by Amazon, Microsoft and Google allow the use of unrented computers for up to 10 times cheaper than the normal rate reducing costs up to 90%. There is just one catch, cloud providers reserve the right to take those computers back at any time with little to no warning making the spot market nearly impossible to reliably use for stateful applications. In this talk, we explore the use of seamless live migration of stateful application containers and virtual machines (VMs) to take advantage of spot markets allowing stateful applications to benefit from significant discounts of cloud spot markets. We show that in unstable markets live migration of stateful application can achieve significant savings at low overhead and while maintaining good reliability.

To date, the primary use of containers has been stateless workloads. However, that’s changing fast! Containers, and especially Kubernetes, have matured enough to be viable options for many stateful workloads. That said, it’s early days and a lot of work still needs to be done. This panel will bring you up-to-speed with where we are today, including where some of the gaps are and what needs to be done to close them. As well as this, it will address who should be closing the gaps — should it be the Kubernetes project, should it be ecosystem partners, and what is the role of open-source.

Object storage as a service is a core building block for modern IT organizations and developers alike. The reason is straightforward: object storage is the storage class of the cloud and the ability to provision it seamlessly to applications or developers makes it immensely valuable to enterprises of any size.
The challenge is that object storage as a service has traditionally been very difficult to deliver for reasons of complexity, scale and maintainability. While systems like Kubernetes offer powerful tools for automating the deployment and management of these systems, the overall problem of complexity remains unsolved as administrators must still invest significant time and effort to deploy even a small scale object storage resource.
In this lightning talk, MinIO’s Daniel Valdivia will frame the problem and demonstrate how it can be solved with Kubernetes, kubectl, kustomize and the MinIO Operator. It will include a short demonstration.

There’s a massive shift of enterprise organizations towards AI and Deep Learning. The three stages of most AI implementations, data ingestion and preparation, model building and training, and inference in production, require IT and Ops teams to work with data in new and sometimes confounding ways. And with benefits like portability, cloud-agnostic infrastructure, and scalability, many organizations are choosing to build AI infrastructure from the ground up using containers and Kubernetes. In this talk, Dr. Ronen Dar of Run:AI will walk through an example of a well-architected AI Infrastructure stack and discuss how Kubernetes has become critical for AI workload orchestration and data management. He’ll address some of the orchestration challenges that enterprises face when they begin to scale, and show an example of how one company worked to solve these challenges.

Integrating a storage appliance with Kubernetes using the CSI specification may seem insurmountable, especially if unfamiliar with Kubernetes and cloud native concepts. The HPE CSI Driver for Kubernetes is a vendor agnostic open source CSI driver which allows third parties to integrate their block storage systems using an open source REST API specification called Container Storage Provider, to completely decouple the system from Kubernetes. In return, all the host minutia such as iSCSI and multipathing is taken care of by the CSI driver while providing full support for the CSI specification, including snapshots and related data management capabilities. Other bonus features include unique sidecars to deal PVC mutations, consistency groups and an NFS server provisioner. Join us for a discussion on the different design choices with an open source third party CSP implementation as an example, to open the door for developers to cloud native data management on Kubernetes.

To date, containers have been primarily the domain of developers. Now, they are moving into production and IT needs to adapt. Just as with any platform change, new procedures and systems are required to support this new world. As quoted by one of Evaluator Group’s clients: “Developers are pushing containers. Their long-term strategy is [for IT] to partner with Development and support containers. How do we manage that? We’ll need the whole gamut from provisioning to monitoring, etc.” In this panel, we will explore the changes happening in the IT organization, from personnel roles to collaboration of Dev and Ops, and talk about how to take on the issues that arise, especially in this time of change. Specifically, the panel will present a unique perspective from five women who are tackling change and containers.
